HC Deb 06 March 1957 vol 566 c330
24. Mr. Brockway

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what decisions have been reached and action taken regarding the Soviet proposals for the Middle East made in the Soviet Notes of 12th February, 1957.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

I have nothing yet to add to the reply given to the hon. Member for Leyton (Mr. Sorensen) on 19th February.

Mr. Brockway

Will the right hon. and learned Gentleman particularly consider the proposal that further supplies of arms from either the Western or the Eastern side should be ended, and that there should be some co-ordination of economic aid to the nations of the Middle East?

Mr. Lloyd

Certainly, these matters will be considered.
