Citing documents in the National Archives, the BBC said French Prime Minister Guy Mollet discussed the possibility of a merger between both countries with British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden.
That discussion came on September 10, 1956 when Mollet visited London, but Eden rejected the idea of a union, the BBC said.
