HC Deb 22 January 1970 vol 794 c163W
12. Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister of Overseas Development whether she will now make a statement on the proposals made to Her Majesty's Government by Lord Robens for an interim settlement of the Malta problem; and at what time and on what date these were made to her by Lord Robens.

Mr. Whitaker

The proposals, which are confidential, are still under discussion. They were received by my Ministry on 8th December, and not, as I apologise for telling the House previously, on 9th December.
