§ 79. Mr. Hunterasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what further consideration has been given to the offer by the Deputy Soviet Foreign Secretary at the United Nations on 12th December for a non-aggression pact between the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and members of the Warsaw Treaty States; and to what extent this offer of a non-aggression pact is similar to the one made by the Prime Minister.
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreThe Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister was simply echoing a proposal for such a non-aggression pact which had already been made in Mr. Bulganin's letter of 11th December to the Prime Minister. The views of Her Majesty's Government on the proposal for a non-aggression pact are given in the Prime Minister's reply of 16th January to that letter.
