EUROPEAN FREE TRADE ASSOCIATION AND EUROPEAN ECONOMIC COMMUNITY

HC Deb 25 June 1964 vol 697 cc123-4W

68. Mr. Milne

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on the recent discussions that have been held with the European Free Trade Association on the subject of relations with the Common Market.

Mr. R. A. Butler

At each recent meeting of the European Free Trade Association Ministerial Council, Ministers have considered relations with the European Economic Community and have taken the opportunity of informing their colleagues of any discussions between their countries and the Com- munity. We look forward to a similar exchange at the meeting in Edinburgh on 9th and 10th July.
