HC Deb 04 May 1961 vol 639 c122W
Mr. Healey

asked the Prime Minister what steps he has taken to secure the implementation of the declaration of the Commonwealth Prime Ministers concerning disarmament.

The Prime Minister

I hope that the coming bilateral discussions between the United States and the Soviet Union, for which the United Nations General Assembly have given their unanimous support, will result in a resumption of multilateral disarmament negotiations. As I indicated in reply to Questions on 23rd March, Her Majesty's Government's attitude at such negotiations will be guided by the principles set out by the Commonwealth Prime Ministers.
