Thompsonasked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will in future submit independent memoranda containing the views of Her Majesty's Government direct to the Ten-Nation Committee on Disarmament, instead of submitting joint memoranda which, as shown in the Annexes to Command Paper No. 1152, have been prepared in collaboration with other Powers.
§ Mr. HeathIf the Ten-Power Committee meets again we shall submit memoranda either singly or jointly with other Powers, as seems best.
