SOUTH-EAST ASIA TREATY ORGANISATION (FOREIGN SECRETARY'S SPEECH)

HC Deb 08 May 1967 vol 746 cc157-8W

Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will make a statement about the content of his speech to the South-East Asia Treaty Organisation Council of Ministers in Washington on 18th April, on the reductions of our military commitments east of Suez.

Mr. George Brown

No. I have placed in the Library a copy of the speech I made on 18th April at the South-East Asia Treaty Organisation Council Meeting, from which it will be seen that I made no reference to reductions of military commitments.
