§ Mrs. Winifred Ewingasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in respect of the proposed summit meeting on European security in Helsinki on 30th July, if he will indicate (1) the proposed items the Government wish to place on the agenda and (2) the agenda items known to him at present.
§ Mr. HattersleyThe agenda for Stage III of the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe, which opens in Helsinki on 30th July, was agreed to by all the Governments concerned at Stage II in Geneva and cannot now be altered or added to. It consists of opening speeches by the President of Finland and the Secretary-General of the United Nations; speeches by the 35 Heads or other representatives of States and Governments; and the signature of the Final Act of the conference. In view of the widespread interest in its work, I have already placed the latest form of the documents, which were drawn up at Stage II and will be incorporated in the Final Act, in the Library of the House. Some further editorial changes in them will be required.
