Opinion No. 41 on the Budget of the Council of Europe for 1965 was given preliminary consideration by the Ministers' Deputies at their 132nd meeting early in June. Until the opinion of the Budget Committee is obtained the Deputies will not be able to give the matter final consideration and accordingly it is not possible to indicate at this stage what the attitude of the Government will be.
