§ Sir F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs on what grounds the last two Central Treaty Organisation Conferences in London were cancelled; and on what date the 1967 meeting of this Conference will now take place.
§ Mr. George ThomsonRecent international events led Members to agree that in the circumstances the Ministerial Council due to be held in London in July should be postponed. The meeting had previously had to be postponed from April because the dates coincided with the funeral of Dr. Adenauer. As my right hon. Friend said in reply to the hon. Member for Banbury (Mr. Marten) on 17th July, the meeting will be held as soon as it seems to our allies and ourselves a convenient moment to hold it.—[Vol. 750, c. 1525.]
