§ Q8. Mr. Litterickasked the Prime Minister if he is satisfied with the outcome of the United Nations' special disarmament session.
§ Mr. FootI have been asked to reply.
Yes. The world has agreed for the first time on a single document about disarmament. The Government welcome this, although we should have liked to see more in the final document about measures to curb nuclear proliferation and the world-wide build-up of conventional arms. The Government also welcome the agreement, on lines suggested by the United Kingdom, for reforming the Conference of the Committee on Disarmament in Geneva. A White Paper on the special session will be published shortly.
