Mr. C. Johnson

asked the Lord Privy Seal when Her Majesty's Government intend to ratify the Convention relating to the establishment of a European Space Research Organisation which was signed on their behalf at Paris on 14th June, 1962.

Mr. Heath

Her Majesty's Government intend if possible to ratify the Convention before the end of July. They have made it clear to the other members of the Preparatory Commission that they will ratify it on the basis of strict adherence to the financial conditions laid down in the two supplementary protocols to the Convention.
