16. Mr. Sainsbury

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will seek to obtain guarantees of freedom of movement and access to Soviet citizens for visitors to Moscow for the 1978 olympics, in accordance with the Helsinki agreement.

Mr. Luard

The Government will continue to seek the full implementation by the Soviet Union and other signatory States of the provisions of the Helsinki Final Act, including those which relate to freer movement and contact between peoples and to the promotion of tourism, at the time of the Olympic Games and at all other times.
