HC Deb 27 July 1978 vol 954 cc910-1W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when the Foreign Secretaries' meeting to activate the conference on mutual and balanced force reduction, promised by the Prime Minister in New York, will take place.

Mr. Judd

No date has yet been proposed. Some useful progress has been made recently in the negotiations and we are keeping in touch with our allies on the timing of a meeting at Foreign Minister level. Such a meeting will be appropriate once it is clear that it could contribute effectively to the early conclusion of a mutually satisfactory agreement.
