HC Deb 29 March 1955 vol 539 c22W
98. Mr. John Hall

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware that some of the discussions of the Sub-Committee of the United Nations Disarmament Commission, now meeting in London, have been reported in "Pravda"; and if he will request the United Nations Organisation to inquire into this disclosure of information.

Mr. Turton

The disclosures in "Pravda," to which my hon. Friend refers, were quickly followed by Mr. Gromyko's statement to Tass, which was dealt with by my right hon. Friend the Minister of State yesterday. The other members of the Sub-Committee have already protested at the Soviet delegate's breach of the secrecy of the talks, and I do not think that there is any further action which could usefully be taken in the United Nations at the present time.
