"Having said that I wish to that on consideration I say regret the tone of some of the expressions which used about the Schuman Plan," he added.
He was
speaking after Mr| Strachey had given an explana ton of a disputed passage in a sprech at Colchester on July 1 in which the Opposition alleged that the word "plot" he used referral to the Schuman Plan.
