HC Deb 03 February 1960 vol 616 c139W
82. Mr. Rankin

asked the Minister of Defence if he will make a statement on the outcome of his discussions with the Defence Minister of the German Federal Republic.

Mr. Watkinson

I have nothing to add to the Answer which I gave to the hon. Member for Ashfield (Mr. Warbey) on 9th December, when I informed him that during my talks with Herr Strauss we discussed the possibility of co-operation within the N.A.T.O. framework in certain fields of research, development and production with the object of making the most efficient use of scientific and industrial resources of the two countries.
