HC Deb 28 April 1947 vol 436 cc1519-20
37. Mr. Henry Strauss

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the obligations set out in the second sentence of Article V of the Anglo-Soviet Treaty of Alliance are now binding on the parties, either under that Treaty or under some other international covenant.

Mr. Mayhew

Yes, Sir. The AngloSoviet Treaty of 1942 is still in force.

Mr. Strauss

Before a new treaty is concluded will the Foreign Secretary consider how far these existing obligations have been observed?
