ABSTRACT

In paragraphs 5 and 6 of Chapter 7 I have described the extent to which, as the negotiations opened, we already foresaw that some kind of summit meeting would prove necessary before they ended. We were thinking at that point more of a summit of the Seven (or possibly the Ten) than of the bilateral Anglo-French summit meeting which in the end took place. Already, we did not like the idea of a summit of the Six; though we foresaw that it might be hard to reach a summit of the Seven until the Six had had a summit meeting of their own.
