§ Q9. Mr. Hoosonasked the Prime Minister, if, as a result of his recent visits to Moscow and Washington, it is his policy to take any fresh initiatives to achieve a military détente in Europe.
§ The Prime Minister:We are actively studying with our allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation the possibilities for disarmament and practical arms control measures in Europe. This study has been intensified since the adoption by N.A.T.O. Ministers last December of the Report on the Future Tasks of the Alliance. I see no need for any new initiative at present.
