§ Mr. Stonehouseasked the Lord Privy Seal what was the result of his discussions on Great Britain's application to join the Common Market with the German Foreign Minister; and whether he has accepted the German requests for increased participation by the Federal Republic in defence questions, including participation in a North Atlantic Treaty Organisation nuclear deterrent, as a means of obtaining support for Great Britain's entry.
§ Mr. HeathThe discussions were confidential. The question of co-operation in defence matters has not arisen in connection with the Brussels negotiations, and no such requests were made.
