European Security and Co-operation (Conference)

HC Deb 09 May 1973 vol 856 cc101-2W

34. Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a further statement on the progress of the preparatory talks at Helsinki for a Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe.

Mr. Anthony Royle

The fourth session of talks began on 25th April. On the basis of the work done in the long and useful third session we hope it will be possible to complete the preparatory work in time for the conference itself to take place in the summer.
