HC Deb 24 January 1963 vol 670 cc96-7W
Q12. Mr. Shinwell

asked the Prime Minister whether in view of the latest indication by General de Gaulle of his policy on Great Britain's rôle in the world and his opposition to the entry of Great Britain into the European Economic Community, he will now abandon the idea and concentrate on the promotion of trade with the Commonwealth and other countries.

The Prime Minister

The next session of the Conference at Brussels will begin on 28th January with all seven Governments represented. I cannot predict the course of events thereafter.
