HC Deb 09 July 1981 vol 8 c175W
Q37. Mr. Ron Brown

asked the Prime Minister if she will make a statement in response to President Brezhnev's call for arms control negotiations as stated in his speech to the Supreme Soviet on 23 June 1981.

The Prime Minister

The Government support the negotiation of specific, realistic and verifiable measures of arms control and disarmament in both nuclear and conventional forces. We believe this approach will prove more valuable than declarations which contribute nothing to the easing of tension.
