HC Deb 28 April 1980 vol 983 c372W
Mr. Deakins

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will consider the desirability of a United Nations guarantee for the neutrality of Afghanistan.

Mr. Hurd

There is increasing and helpful support for the objective of the complete withdrawal of all Soviet troops from Afghanistan and freedom for the country to resume its traditional policies of neutrality and non-alignment. It is not yet possible to judge what role the United Nations will be able to play.
