HC Deb 01 February 1965 vol 705 cc208-9W
64. Mr. Newens

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what arrangements have been made for an official visit by the Shah of Persia to this country.

Mr. George Thomson

His Imperial Majesty the Shah, accompanied by the Empress Farah, plans to pay a private visit to this country during the early part of March. Arrangements for the visit are, of course, in the hands of the Shah, but we expect that the opportunity of his visit will be taken for discussions with Her Majesty's Government on matters of common interest.
