HC Deb 21 June 1967 vol 748 c293W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the President of the Board of Trade whether he will initiate talks in the Council of Europe with a view to persuading member countries of the Council to take over and adopt the European Economic Community draft European Patent Convention.

Mr. Darling

The present time would not be appropriate for an initiative of this kind, but I will keep the matter in mind.
