§ Q12. Mr. Blakerasked the Prime Minister whether he will discuss with Herr Brandt during their forthcoming meeting the means of achieving a closer alignment of British and West German foreign policy.
§ The Prime MinisterYes. However, Her Majesty's Government already co-ordinate their policies closely with the Federal German Government, as with other Community Governments. There is a well-established series of bilateral meetings at ministerial and official level; and we work closely with Federal German representatives in a variety of international organisations. We aim to build on this foundation as members of an enlarged European Economic Community.
