HC Deb 12 May 1969 vol 783 cc162-3W
66. Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make a statement about progress in the United Nations Special Committee on the question of defining aggression with particular reference to the Soviet draft text.

Mr. Goronwy Roberts

The Special Committee ended its Second Session on 3rd April, having considered three draft definitions, including one tabled by the Soviet Union. The report of the Committee and a speech by the United Kingdom representative relating to the Soviet draft have been placed in the Library of the House. The Committee reached no conclusions except to recommend unanimously that it resume its work early in 1970.
