§ 8. Mr. Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will propose to the Governments of the United States of America, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, East and West Germany, and France a conference, on the lines of the recent conference held in Moscow to settle the Austrian problem, on the understanding that the proposed conference should attempt to find a settlement of the German problem with similar guarantees to that arrived at between the Governments of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Austria on the proposed Austrian peace treaty.
§ Mr. H. Macmillan:On 25th April I informed the House of our plans for consultation with the other interested Governments about talks with the Soviet Union. These consultations are only just beginning, and I have nothing to add to what I said then.
