HC Deb 17 July 1968 vol 768 cc234-5W
77. Mr. Boston

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what additional measures he is taking to ensure freedom of communication with Berlin, following the discussions on that subject at the recent council meeting of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.

Mr. Mulley

Following the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation Council Meeting, the British Ambassador in Moscow, together with his American and French colleagues, presented Notes to the Soviet Government protesting at the recent East German measures affecting Berlin traffic and calling upon the Soviet Government to fulfil their international obligation to assure freedom of access to the city. The Soviet Government can be under no illusion about our determination to maintain freedom of access to and from Berlin on the basis of Allied rights and responsibilities.
