§ 122. Mr. S. Silvermanasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in his official consultations with Mr. Dulles, he will draw attention to the impossibility of obtaining Soviet assent to the admission of Western Germany to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, and urge the necessity for giving full weight to this consideration in any proposals submitted to the Soviet Government as a basis of negotiation.
§ 124 and 125. Mr. W. Griffithsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, (1) whether, in his official discussions with Mr. Dulles, he will draw attention to the necessity for dropping the demand that the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics should agree to a united Germany being allowed to enter the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, and should instead propose negotiation on the revised Rapacki Plan, as the first step to disengagement and the unification of Germany by stages;
(2) whether, in his official discussions with Mr. Dulles, he will draw attention to the fact that disengagement on the lines of the Rapacki Plan is the only possible basis for negotiations on the unification of Germany, and that failing agreement on a basis of negotiation the Government is prepared to work with East German authorities replacing those of the 74W Soviet Union for the purpose of maintaining communications with Berlin, and is opposed in any circumstances to the use or threat of force for that purpose.
§ 128. Mr. Grimondasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, during his forthcoming official consultations with Mr. Dulles, he will propose that steps be taken by the Western Allies to open negotiations on disengagement in Central Europe based on the gradual withdrawal of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and Russian forces from Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia, starting with a ban on nuclear weapons accompanied by international inspection.
§ Mr. R. AllanWhile not accepting the premises on which the hon. Members' Questions appear to be based, my right hon. and learned Friend will, of course, take note of their suggestions in his discussions with Mr. Dulles.
§ 123. Mr. S. Silvermanasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in the official discussion with Mr. Dulles on the co-ordination of Anglo-American policies, he will draw attention to the fact that Her Majesty's Government recognises the Government of the People's Republic of China, and consequently recognises its sovereign rights over the coastal islands of Quemoy and Matsu, and considers that the exclusion of the People's Republic of China from the Security Council is inconsistent with the Charter; and if he will propose steps to end this anomaly.
§ 131. Mr. Harold Daviesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in his official discussions with Mr. Dulles, he will draw attention to the fact that the policy of excluding the People's Republic of China from the place in the Security Council belonging to it under Article 23 of the Charter has created a situation which might lead to international friction and the continuance of which is likely to endanger the maintenance of international peace, in the sense of Article 34 of the Charter, and that Her Majesty's Government refuses to be associated or involved in the use or threat of force in pursuance of this policy and, in particular, in order to prevent the Government of China exercising its sovereign rights over the Chinese coastal islands of Quemoy and Matsu.

§ Mr. R. AllanI do not expect that there will be time in the course of Mr. Dulles's visit to discuss the Far Eastern situation. The United States Government are well aware of Her Majesty's Government's position in these matters.
