HC Deb 22 June 1960 vol 625 c33W
42. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will make a statement about the future of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation.

Mr. R. Allan

The eighteen member Governments and the two associate members of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation received in April a report, which is available in the Library, from the Group of Four experts. The report recommends the lines on which the Organisation should be remodelled. Detailed work on it is now going on in Paris. It is hoped to hold a meeting of Ministers towards the end of July to discuss a draft Convention for the reconstitution of O.E.E.C.
