§ 25. Mr. Sorensenasked the Prime Minister whether any further progress has been made concerning an international air disarmament conference; and whether he has been, or will be, in communication with appropriate Governments respecting the matter?
§ The Prime MinisterThe necessary survey by the various Departments of His Majesty's Government of this highly complex problem is still in progress, and accordingly I am not at present in a position to make any statement on the matter.
§ Mr. SorensenWould not the right hon. Gentleman at least inform the House with regard to the last part of my question?
§ The Prime MinisterNo, Sir, we shall not be in communication until we have made up our minds as to the best course in this matter.
§ Mr. SorensenDo I understand that the right hon. Gentleman has not made up his mind as to the best way by which disarmament can be brought about?
§ The Prime MinisterThat is exactly what I said.
