HC Deb 08 July 1946 vol 425 c23
48. Mr. Warbey

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster whether he will take steps to make the full text of the new Control Agreement for Austria available to hon. Members and to the public.

The Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Mr. John Hynd)

The Allied Council in Vienna is at present considering the publication of the new Agreement and I hope that the text will be published very shortly.

Mr. Warbey

Will my hon. Friend bear in mind that we have great responsibility in this matter and that we cannot exercise it properly unless we are aware of the precise nature of our functions, responsibilities and obligations?

Mr. Hynd

That is the reason for our proposal that these matters should be published.
