HC Deb 12 March 1957 vol 566 c148W
52. Mr. G. Brown

asked the Prime Minister whether the declaration of the President of the Board of Trade at Burton-on-Trent on 1st March, relating to the defence of the United Kingdom, represents the policy of Her Majesty's Government.

The Prime Minister

In his speech my right hon. Friend expressed the view, which I would have thought was shared by hon. Members from all parts of the House, that the time had passed when the United Kingdom could be defended without allies.
