§ Mr. EnnalsOn the subject of a comprehensive test ban. I would refer my hon. Friend to my right hon. Friend's answer of 17th July.
Mr. Brezhnev's suggestion on the Mediterranean was for a bilateral agreement between the US and USSR, not a multilateral treaty to which Britain and others could become parties.
