Britain backs Macmillan move to join the Common Market
Parliament endorsed Prime Minister Harold Macmillan's plan to seek membership in the European Common Market by a 313 to 5 vote. The Labor party abstained, and a censure motion by Laborites failed. Lords approved the government motion, outlining Britain's aim to end isolation and pursue a market alliance with France, West Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Britain will apply next week but not commit to joining. Talks on terms likely start in October and will address trade with Commonwealth nations, subsidized farming, and sovereignty concerns.
