HC Deb 31 July 1961 vol 645 cc110-1W
67. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Lord Privy Seal if, in order to end the deadlock in the nuclear tests talks at Geneva, he will propose that the control be exercised by two of the three parties to the proposed inspection control organisation.

Mr. Godber

I do not think that the Soviet proposal, even if modified in the manner suggested by the hon. Gentleman, is compatible with speedy and effective administration of agreed controls. The terms of the Treaty and the decisions of the Control Commission should in our view be executed by impartial servants of an international organisation rather than by representatives of divergent national or political interests.
