48. Mr. Turton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the speech made by his Deputy Under-Secretary to the Dortmund Chamber of Commerce on 29th May on the need to change the European Economic Community into a Federal Union was made with his authority.

Mr. M. Stewart

As my right hon. Friend the Minister of State told my hon. Friend the Member for Harrow, East (Mr. Roebuck) on 12th June, the speech was made with my authority. But it contained no reference to a Federal Union.
