45. Mr. Scott-Hopkins

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will make a statement regarding the conference organised by the United Kingdom Council of the European Free Trade Association in London on 7th, 8th and 9th November.

Mr. Heath

The Political and Economic Conference of the Seven was organised by the United Kingdom Council of the European Movement, to bring together people distinguished in various walks of life from all the countries of the European Free Trade Association. There was general agreement on the need to build up the European Free Trade Association and to seize the opportunities offered by it; and on the desirability of achieving a wider European unity.
