HC Deb 15 April 1959 vol 603 c1005
2 and 3. Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (1) to what extent it is now the policy of Her Majesty's Government that the personnel of all control posts established for the purpose of enforcing any agreement for the discontinuance of nuclear tests should not include representatives of the country in which such posts are situated;

(2) to what extent it is now the policy of Her Majesty's Government that the personnel of teams inspecting suspected nuclear explosion sites should not be composed of nationals from the country being inspected accompanied by foreign observers.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

The composition of the personnel at control posts and of inspection teams is under negotiation at Geneva. I did, however, discuss the matter at some length both in Moscow and in Washington. I believe that this is one of the matters upon which it will be possible to reach agreement, and I hope that the right hon. and learned Gentleman will be willing to leave it at that for the time being.

Forward to
