§ 43. Mr. Dribergasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on the forthcoming visit to Great Britain of the Spanish Foreign Minister.
§ Mr. ProfumoThe Spanish Foreign Minister paid a short visit to London in September, 1959. He was then invited to pay another visit this year. This was announced at the time. He has now accepted an invitation to pay an official visit from 11th to 13th July. As my right hon. and learned Friend informed the House on 7th March, the purpose of the visit is to improve relations between the two countries. This is not an occasion for negotiations but my right hon. and learned Friend will take the opportunity to exchange views with Señor Castiella.
