§ 38. Mr. Aitkenasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on his recent meetings with Crown Prince Fahd of Saudi Arabia and Sheikh Muhammed Abu Al-Khail, the Minister of Finance of Saudi Arabia.
§ Mr. HealeyI had the honour to entertain His Royal Highness Crown Prince Fahd and Shaikh Muhammed Aba Al-Khail to dinner on 21st October; I also had a separate meeting with Shaikh Muhammed Aba Al-Khail. Our discussions on these occasions covered a wide range of matters including economic cooperation and financial issues. The visit provided a most valuable opportunity to renew and strengthen the close relations established during my visit to Riyadh last year.
