HC Deb 01 December 1955 vol 546 c249W
122. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the recent exposure of this country to radio-active particles from Soviet hydrogen-bomb tests and, in view of the projected series of United States test explosions, he will now propose to the Governments of all countries concerned an agreement to cease the further testing, by means of explosions, of all weapons capable of emitting dangerous concentrations of radio-active particles.

123. Mr. Strachey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the recent Soviet detonation of a further hydrogen bomb, he will now propose the abolition of further such tests as one practical measure of disarmament which is self-policing.

Mr. Turton

I have nothing to add to the reply given yesterday by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister to the right hon. Member for Walthamstow, West (Mr. Attlee).
