HC Deb 19 December 1956 vol 562 cc160-1W
63. Mr. Healey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what communications Her Majesty's Government have received from the United States Administration regarding its forthcoming disarmament proposals.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

Exchanges of views about disarmament are now in progress between the United States authorities and ourselves. These discussions cover certain new American ideas, but I cannot make any statement at this stage.

69. Mr. A. Henderson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in view of the recent disarmament proposals of the United States Government, he will make a statement on the forthcoming meeting of the United States Sub-Committee.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

With regard to the right hon. and learned Member's reference to United States disarmament proposals, I would refer him to the answer I have given today to the hon. Member for Leeds, East (Mr. Healey). No meeting of the Disarmament Sub-Committee has yet been arranged. A meeting of its parent body, the Disarmament Commission, is to take place on 20th December.
