HC Deb 27 April 1972 vol 835 c359W
Q11. Mr. Fernyhough

asked the Prime Minister if, when he next meets M. Pompidou, he will discuss with him the question of France making available to British subjects visiting France the same facilities in respect of accidents and illness, and at the same cost that are available for French citizens visiting Great Britain.

The Prime Minister

I cannot predict which specific issues may be discussed with the President of France at our next meeting. But one of the advantages of joining the European Economic Community will be that British employees and their families visiting France or any other European Economic Community country, whether on business or holiday, will be entitled to medical or hospital treatment on the same terms as employees in that country.
