HL Deb 08 February 1983 vol 438 cc1221-2WA
Lord Orr-Ewing

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What progress has been made in the implementation by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Eastern European countries of the provisions of the Helsinki Final Act during the last six months.

Lord Belstead

During the second half of 1982 the Soviet Union and the countries of Eastern Europe continued to disregard many of their commitments under the Helsinki Final Act. The period was marked particularly by continuing violations of the Final Act by the Soviet Union and Poland.
