HC Deb 11 February 1963 vol 671 c124W
Mr. Mayhew

asked the Lord Privy Seal to what extent the new British-Soviet Cultural Convention represents an advance towards freedom of communication between the British and Soviet people.

Mr. P. Thomas

The new Agreement facilitates exchanges in various fields and to that extent makes communication easier, but Her Majesty's Government would like to see a much more substantial advance towards freedom of communication.
