§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Prime Minister if she will give the reasons why she will not seek an early meeting with the President of France to discuss with him his new year's declaration of France's intention of increasing its nuclear missile capacity and the possibility of manufacturing the neutron bomb, in view of the danger to the United Kingdom that such actions will cause.
§ The Prime MinisterI shall not request such a meeting because I disagree completely with the hon. Member's assumption. I see absolutely no danger to Britain in the nuclear defence policy of France.
