Consultations in the light of the British defence
review have been taking place in Canberra during the last
two days between Australian Ministers, Mr. Dean Eyre, New

a full, and helpful, discussion in which Australian and
New Zealand Ministers explained their attitudes towards
the future problems of allied defence policy in this area
of the world. Mr. Healey, who has also had discussions in
Washington with United States Ministers, will be returning
to London after a short visit to Singapore and Malaysia,
to report to his colleagues.
Arrangements have been made for consultation to
continue as required through appropriate channels.
