HC Deb 28 November 1961 vol 650 c39W
83. Mr. P. Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations whether the statement by the British High Commissioner to Canada on the Common Market on 22nd November was made with his authority.

Mr. Sandys

The speech in question was a frank and able explanation of the problems which will be raised by Britain's entry into the Common Market. It is part of the regular duties of our High Commissioners to expound the policies of the British Government and for this they require no special authority.
