HC Deb 18 March 1981 vol 1 cc127-8W
16. Mr. Chapman

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will report progress at the reconvened Helsinki review conference in Madrid.

20. Mr. David Atkinson

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will make a progress report on the current conference on security and co-operation in Europe review conference in Madrid.

34. Mr. Sproat

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will make a statement on the Madrid review conference.

Mr. Blaker

The formal discussion of new proposals has ended and the conference has now moved into its drafting phase. It is too early to forecast the timing of the final proceedings or the content of the final document, but I continue to hope that it will be possible to reach agreement on a number of substantive measures in the fields of European security, human rights, freedom of movement, information and family reunification.
