HC Deb 16 June 1969 vol 785 cc2-3W
28. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make a statement on the meeting of the Council of Ministers of the Western European Union on 5th to 6th June.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

The meeting was constructive and useful. Support for enlargement of the European Communities was again strongly expressed. My right hon. Friend made clear that we wanted an early and positive reply to our application for membership. There was valuable consultation on foreign policy and it was agreed to continue and develop this.
