§ Mr. Farrasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish details of plans to move Her Majesty's Embassy in Moscow; whether the proposal to move is in response to a request by the Russian Government; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. TomlinsonThe British Embassy's accommodation requirements are being discussed in Moscow with the Soviet authorities, but detailed plans have not yet been put forward. It was agreed in principle between the British and Soviet Foreign Ministers in 1964 that the two sides should discuss an exchange of sites in London and Moscow.
For the present I have nothing to add to my statement of 20th July 1976.—[Vol. 915, c. 1762–66.]
