§ 30. Mr. A. Hendersonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in view of their rejection of the Rapacki Plan, what new proposals Her Majesty's Government are to make for the purpose of securing a reduction of both nuclear and conventional armaments in Central and Eastern Europe.
§ Mr. Ormsby-GoreI recognise the natural interest which the right hon. and learned Member has in this question. But we are in the first stages of a confidential diplomatic negotiation with the Soviet Government. I am sure that he will understand that it would not be helpful to the success of the negotiation if we announced in public in what fields we would have new proposals to make and exactly what these proposals were.
