15. Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Minister of Technology if he will make a statement on his recent talks with the Federal German Minister for Scientific Research.

Mr. Benn

We discussed our approaches to the issues of science and technology particularly in relation to their industrial aspects and the scope for further collaboration especially in computer standards, industrial standards, the peaceful uses of atomic energy, high voltage transmission and European space research. There will be further meetings between technical experts. I took the opportunity of discussing the possibility that Europe might work towards a community in technology.
