HC Deb 19 December 1960 vol 632 c115W
90. Mr. Stratton Mills

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will make a statement on the recent meeting in Paris of the members of the European Free Trade Area, with particular reference to the admission of Finland.

Mr. Erroll

Ministers from the E.F.T.A. countries, who were attending the O.E.C.D. Conference in Paris last week, met informally on 12th December to discuss matters of mutual interest arising at the Conference. They also took advantage of the opportunity to exchange views on various E.F.T.A. matters including Finnish association. It was agreed that this question should be considered further by the E.F.T.A. Council at official level in Geneva.
