HC Deb 22 August 1945 vol 413 c638W
Mr. E. P. Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any progress has been made towards arriving at an agreement on copyright as between His Majesty's Government and the U.S.S.R.

Mr. E. Bevin

There is still no copyright convention between His Majesty's Government and the Soviet Government, and during the war it was not found possible to make any progress towards an agreement with the Soviet Government on this subject.
