asked the Prime Minister if he will make a statement on the progress achieved in the discussions on arms standardisation between this country and the U.S.A.

I have nothing to add to the reply given by my right hon. Friend the Lord President of the Council to the hon. Member on Monday, 9th December.

In view of the fact that Members of this House can only obtain odd pieces of information as regards arms standardisation by reading the Press of this country and that of the United States, is it not now opportune for the Prime Minister to make a comprehensive statement or to say when he proposes to make it?

I do not think that there is anything to add to the statement already made.
