§ 13. Mr. Wiggasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on the effect on Britain's North Atlantic Treaty Organisation policy of the recent agreement between the United States of America and Iceland about the use of Icelandic bases.
§ Mr. Dodds-ParkerHer Majesty's Government welcome this Agreement, which provides for the continued use by the United States of the base at Keflavik. The effect on Her Majesty's Government's policy is unchanged.
§ Mr. WiggDoes it mean that we have facilities to use the Icelandic base? Is Iceland included in our radar warning system?
§ Mr. Dodds-ParkerUnofficial Press reports to the effect that the new Agreement will exclude the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation from a voice in the future of the base are incorrect. The arrangement by which the North Atlantic Council is required to advise upon any proposal for termination continues.
