§ Sir C. Osborneasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in view of the fact that the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was established to protect Western Europe from Stalin's expansion policy, and that the present Soviet rulers have rejected that policy and followed peaceful co-existence, if he will take the initiative with Britain's North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies to see how far the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation can be modified in order to save men and money; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. George ThomsonWe are considering, with our allies, the present opportunity to reorganise the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation to make it as effective and as economical as possible.
