HC Deb 07 February 1979 vol 962 cc175-6W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what estimate he has made of the effect of recent events in Iran on the Central Treaty Organisation.

Mr. Judd

It is too early to say what the effect will be upon CENTO, but we have noted the recent statements to the press by the Iranian Foreign Minister that the Iranian Government will be considering the future of its membership of CENTO.
