HC Deb 25 July 1980 vol 989 c406W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Lord Privy Seal what countries with whom the United Kingdom has diplomatic relations reserve the right to submit United Kingdom diplomatic bags to electronic surveillance; and whether such rights are exercised.

Mr. Hurd

No specific reservations of this character have been made by any party to the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The majority of nations do not seek to impose electronic surveillance on diplomatic bags.
