HC Deb 05 December 1966 vol 737 c206W
98. Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether during his recent visit to Moscow he was able to discuss the case of Mr. Gerald Brooke; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. George Brown

I discussed the case of Mr. Gerald Brooke with Mr. Gromyko and Mr. Kosygin. The Soviet Government did not respond to my request for clemency for Mr. Brooke, but they agreed to allow a meeting between him and the British Consul.
