§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that, on his recent visit to Bonn, General de Gaulle called upon Chancellor Kiesinger to recognise the Oder-Neisse line as a means of ensuring peace in Europe; and whether, as a means of showing support for General de Gaulle and thereby assisting the United Kingdom's entry into the Common Market, he will notify the West German Chancellor and General de Gaulle that Great Britain supports this policy.
§ Mr. George ThomsonI cannot comment on private discussions between President de Gaulle and Chancellor Kiesinger. As regards Her Majesty's Government's policy on the Oder-Neisse Line I have nothing to add to my reply to the hon. Member for Bebington (Mr. Brooks) on the 11th April. —[Vol. 744, c.164–5.]
