HC Deb 14 October 1969 vol 788 c63W
66. Mr. Biffen

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further discussions have been held with a view to obtaining Great Britain's signature to the Treaty of Rome; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Luard

We are in regular contact with our partners through the normal diplomatic channels and, as occasion offers, at ministerial level. The United Nations General Assembly last month provided an opportunity for my right hon. Friend to have useful talks with several of his European colleagues, including a rewarding first talk with the French Foreign Minister, M. Schumann.
