HC Deb 13 July 1971 vol 821 c69W
Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on recent breaches of the Anglo-Maltese Defence Agreement by the Maltese Government.

Mr. Anthony Royle

The Government hope to have discussions very soon on the new Malta Government's attitude towards defence arrangements with this country. Meanwhile, as has been made clear, we consider that the 1964 Defence Agreement remains legally in force.
