HC Deb 11 December 1961 vol 651 c10W
57. Mr. Rankin

asked the Lord Privy Seal what study he has made of the latest proposals of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics for the banning of nuclear tests; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Mr. Heath

We are still studying the implications of the Soviet plan, though we can see no way of utilising it unless the Soviet Government are willing to accept some form of international verification.
