§ 103. Mr. Warbeyasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what proposals he has made to, or received from, the Soviet Government since August, 1945, for joint action for the organisation of security and economic prosperity in Europe in accordance with Article 5 of the Anglo-Soviet Treaty of 1942.
§ Mr. MayhewNo proposals have been made on a bilateral basis by the Soviet Government or by His Majesty's Government. Prior to the establishment of the United Nations Organisation His Majesty's Government took the initiative in setting up temporary economic organisations for Europe, which the Soviet Government was invariably invited to join, and on different occasions in the Council of Foreign Ministers and at meetings of the United Nations proposals of the kind suggested by my hon. Friend have been made both by the Soviet Government and by His Majesty's Government.
