asked the Prime Minister whether he will make a statement on his discussions with the Foreign Secretary of Israel; to what extent Mr. Abba Eban raised the question of safeguarding Anglo-Israel trade in the event of Great Britain entering the European Economic Community; and whether he will give an assurance that no action will be taken by Her Majesty's Government which will adversely affect Israel's trade with Great Britain.

My discussions with Mr. Eban were concerned mainly with the situation in the Middle East. We also discussed the implications of British entry for Anglo-Israeli trade and Israel's relations with the Community. Mr. Eban knows that we are alive to Israel's interests.
