HC Deb 23 June 1955 vol 542 c87W
61. Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what steps he proposes to take to secure international agreement for the control of nuclear and atomic weapons.

Lord John Hope

Her Majesty's Government are taking all possible steps to secure a comprehensive disarmament agreement providing for the total prohibition and elimination of all weapons of mass destruction, as well as for major reductions in conventional armaments and armed forces, with a really effective system of international control. As stated by my right hon. Friend on 13th June, Her Majesty's Government will pursue their aim at whatever level this vital question is considered.
