HC Deb 28 March 1955 vol 539 c1W
4. Mr. Healy

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what copy of the Atlantic Charter, signed on the ss. "Augusta," on 14th August, 1941, is in this country; if he will cause it to be exhibited, in photostat, in the Library of the House; and where the original copy is now to be found.

Sir Anthony Eden

The declaration of principles known as the Atlantic Charter was issued by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and President of the United States of America on 14th August, 1941. It was presented to Parliament as Command paper 6321 of 1941. The document is not a treaty, nor was it signed. There is consequently no original copy which could be either photographed or exhibited.
