266W
§ Mr. Hattersley:There is no provision in this Agreement for abrogation limited to two of the contracting parties. A party may withdraw from it only by denouncing the Agreement as a whole. We know nothing to suggest that the Belgian Government intend to denounce the Agreement, and Her Majesty's Government have no such intention themselves.
