6♠ by East
Lead:
♣10
On the normal rule for 4-4-4-1 hands ('highest 4-card minor'), East should open 1♦. There is no need for anything from West other than 1♥, leaving plenty of space to investigate. East really ought to rebid 1♠, and the spade slam is found easily. If East does decide on 1NT, then West will bid 6NT.
