§ 21. Mr. Knoxasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about the Government's attitude to the pooling of sovereignty in the fields of general and complete disarmament and the supervision necessary to make this acceptable.
§ Mr. TomlinsonHer Majesty's Government believe that general and complete disarmament would require an international control organisation with rights, powers and functions adequate to guarantee the effective observance of agreed prohibitions and reductions. It is premature to consider the exact nature of the organisation or the extent to which it would involve a pooling of sovereignty.
