HC Deb 29 October 1980 vol 991 c292W
26. Mr. Sproat

asked the Lord Privy Seal of he will make a statement on the latest preparation for the Madrid review conference.

Mr. Blaker

Her Majesty's Government are disappointed at the slow progress so far at the CSCE preparatory meeting. This is the result of attempts by Warsaw Pact countries to place unacceptable limitations on the time available for the review of implementation at the main Madrid review meeting. Her Her Majesty's Government nevertheless continue to expect the meeting to open, as agreed, on 11 November.
