Q4. Mr. Kershaw

asked the Prime Minister what conversations he proposes to have with the President of the French Republic about closer co-operation between the countries of Europe in general and between the United Kingdom and the Common Market in particular.

The Prime Minister

As I told the House on 16th February, I shall wish to cover in my talks with General de Gaulle a wide range of matters of common economic and political interest. This would naturally include discussion of the closer European co-operation which we seek.

Q12. Mr. Marten

asked the Prime Minister whether he will give an assurance that, both before and after discussions with the President of the French Republic about Great Britain and the Common Market, he will keep the Commonwealth and the European Free Trade Association partners fully informed.

The Prime Minister

If this subject should arise. I shall certainly bear in mind the interest of Commonwealth and European Free Trade Association coun- tries and the need to inform them of any points of substance affecting them.

Q14. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Prime Minister whether he will discuss with General de Gaulle the question of international liquidity and the modernisation of the international monetary system.

The Prime Minister

My talks with President de Gaulle will cover the main subjects of common concern to our two countries.
