HC Deb 23 March 1982 vol 20 c320W
37. Mr. James Lamond

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if it is planned that any Minister from his Department will attend the United Nations special session on disarmament.

39. Mr. Stan Thorne

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he plans to address the second United Nations special session on disarmament to be held from 7 June to 9 July 1982; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Blaker

It is planned that the United Kingdom representation at the United Nations Special Session on Disarmament will be led by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister. Attendance by other Ministers has yet to be decided, but it is unlikely that a Defence Minister will attend.
