HC Deb 03 December 1951 vol 494 c2022
53. Mr. A. Fenner Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will issue as a White Paper the disarmament proposals presented to the United Nations Assembly by the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, respectively, together with the amendments submitted by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics to the United States proposals.

The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Mr. Anthony Eden)

The disarmament proposals presented to the General Assembly of the United Nations jointly by His Majesty's Government and the Governments of France and the United States of America have already been presented to Parliament in Command Paper No. 8414. The various proposals of the Soviet Union are being made available to hon. Members in the Library of the House.

Mr. Brockway

While thanking the right hon. Gentleman for that answer, may I also ask him whether, subsequent to the present discussions by the joint committee in Paris, the documents which are produced may also be circulated in a similar way?

Mr. Eden

I will gladly consider that.
