HC Deb 29 November 1968 vol 774 cc203-4W
Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) if he will list the political factors which will make the time appropriate for the re-negotiation of the Nassau Agreement;

(2) if he will list the strategic factors which will make the time appropriate for the re-negotiation of the Nassau Agreement.

Mr. Mulley

The relevant factors would be largely conditioned by the circumstances of the time, and any attempts at comprehensive tabulation are, therefore, unlikely to be fruitful.

Mr. Marten

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs which of the United Kingdom's allies have so far agreed to the renegotiation of the Nassau Agreement and which have not.

Mr. Mulley

The Nassau Agreement was concluded with the United States of America. The Agreement would not, therefore, fall to be re-negotiated with our other allies, although they would of course have an interest in the outcome.
