§ 53. Mr. Sorensenasked the Prime Minister the main points on the agenda for the forthcoming Prime Ministers' Conference; and whether he will propose that issues involved in the relationship of the Commonwealth nations should receive consideration.
§ The Prime MinisterThe meeting of Commonwealth Prime Ministers has been arranged to enable them to consider together in an intimate and informal way, as has been the practice at such meetings over a period of years, all the important questions in the world today that are currently of interest to them.
