Extract

The regular quarterly meeting of the Consultative Council of Western Powers was held in London on January 27 and 28, 1949. A communiqué issued on January 28 announced that agreement had been reached on the establishment of a “Council of Europe,” which would consist of “a ministerial committee meeting in private, and a consultative body meeting in public.” There had been sharp controversy over the form which the Council should take, the British favoring representatives with cabinet status and the French, supported by Belgium and Luxembourg, preferring parliamentary representatives.
