FOR PRESS P. M. No. 51/ 1966
BRITISH ELECTION RESULT
Comment by the Prime Minister, Mr. Harold Holt.
Mr. Wilson and his colleagues are to be congratulated
on their clear-cut victory.
* I feel it will strengthen the United Kingdom and
benefit the Commonwealth generally now that the inevitable
uncertainty resulting from -m evenly divided Parliament has
been remedied. There has been, by practice and tradition,
very cordial relations between Australja and the United Kingdom
Governments regardless of domestic political philosophies.
I have personally met many senior members of Mr.
Wilson's administration and look forward to continued co-operation
in our mutual interests.
