HC Deb 10 July 1979 vol 970 c170W
35. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Lord Privy Seal what difficulties have been encountered in the comprehensive test ban talks with the United States of America and the USSR; what steps are being taken to overcome them; and if Her Majesty's Government will take an initiative to encourage a successful conclusion.

Mr. Hurd

The most difficult issues concern verification. We continue to work for an early and successful outcome to the negotiations.
