HC Deb 18 March 1965 vol 708 c319W
Q8. Mr. Chataway

asked the Prime Minister, in the light of recent Ministerial discussions in Rome and Bonn and with Commonwealth countries, which of his five pre-conditions for British entry into the European Economic Community remain as the basis of Her Majesty's Government's policy.

The Prime Minister

The five conditions we stated in October, 1962, reflect essential aspects of British policy, but we cannot usefully turn these into precise bargaining conditions for a new European negotiation until one is in prospect.
