§ 91. Mr. Sorensenasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will propose to the Powers concerned the correlation of immediate reconsideration of a measure of multilateral disarmament with present steps towards ratification of the Paris Agreements; and if he will further consider proposing the suspension of ratification provided there is evidence of a genuine effort to secure that measure of multilateral disarmament.
§ Mr. TurtonHer Majesty's Government are determined to press forward simultaneously with negotiations for general disarmament and with ratification of the Paris Agreements. There is no inconsistency between these two aims; nor indeed need the one wait upon the other.
