§ Q21. Mr. Hamlingasked the Prime Minister if in his proposed visit to France he will seek to discuss the future of European unity with President de Gaulle.
§ Mr. M. StewartI have been asked to reply.
The purpose of my right hon. Friends' discussions with the Heads of Government of the Six is to see whether the conditions exist for fruitful negotiations leading to British membership of the European Economic Community. The discussions may well, of course, extend beyond their immediate purpose, but I would not care to forecast what particular subjects might be discussed on any one visit.
