HC Deb 30 July 1963 vol 682 c60W
Q13. Mr. Henderson

asked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the recent official statement of the Government of India that the situation on the Chinese-Indian borders is deteriorating, he will consult President Kennedy on the joint action now to be taken by the Governments of the United Kingdom and the United States of America further to the joint programme for military and economic assistance to India already undertaken by their countries.

The Prime Minister

During the recent visit of President Kennedy to Britain he and I agreed that we should continue to help India to strengthen her defences against the threat of renewed Chinese Communist attack. We are, of course, in close and continuous contact with the Government of India.
