asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he has now received a report from the right hon. Member for Stockton-on-Tees (Mr. H. Macmillian), regarding the proposal that there should be set up in Greece a provisional advisory council, representative of all parties, to assist the administration in the task of reconciliation and reconstruction and to prepare for the General Election.

Reference to the desirability of such a council was made in Athens by my right hon. Friend some weeks ago. This is clearly a matter which the Greek Government and the Greek political leaders must decide for themselves, and unless general agreement is reached I do not feel that the formation of such a council would assist in the task of reconciliation and reconstruction in Greece.
