HC Deb 18 October 1971 vol 823 cc53-4W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will make a statement on his recent discussions in the United States of America with the Foreign Minister of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; and whether during these discussions he raised the question of the treatment of Jews in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Mr. Anthony Royle

My right hon. Friend met Mr. Gromyko in New York as he does every year. They talked about Anglo-Soviet relations and discussed a number of international questions of current interest. My right hon. Friend did not on this occasion raise the question of Soviet Jews.
