§ Mr. Laurance Reedasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what topics he discussed with the French Minister of the Environment during his recent official visit to London; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Peter WalkerMy discussions with M. Paujade, which were essentially exploratory, ranged over the organisation of our Departments, matters of urbanisation and planning, the pollution of fresh water and the sea, the problems posed by motor vehicles and the rôles of various international organisations. We found that we had similar views on many issues, and I am sure that we can look 213W to a period of most fruitful collaboration in the future.
