HC Deb 06 March 1963 vol 673 c57W
Mr. A. Roberts

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will seek to have placed on the agenda of the next meeting of the European Free Trade Association the possibility of inviting Spain to join it.

Mr. Heath

The Spanish Government has not applied for membership of the European Free Trade Association. In the absence of such an approach, it would not be appropriate for this matter to be raised in the European Free Trade Association Council.
