§ Mr. Roseasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action has been taken in respect of diplomatic social relations, including the issue of official invitations, with the Soviet Embassy in London following the invasion of Czechoslovakia by the Soviet Union.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsMy right hon. Friend made it clear to the House on 26th August that while the British Government were not seeking to place an embargo on cultural and economic contacts with the Soviet Union, certain contacts with political overtones, or which could be quoted as evidence that Britain was indifferent to the intervention in Czechoslovakia were totally inappropriate.—[Vol. 769, c. 1418.]
