HC Deb 10 July 1984 vol 63 c477W
Sir Frederic Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government support resolution 806 (1983) of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on the meeting in Madrid of the conference on security and co-operation in Europe; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Rifkind

We share many of the sentiments expressed in the resolution, including its welcome of the positive achievements of the Madrid CSCE meeting. Any role the Council of Europe may have in gathering and disseminating information about the implementation of the Helsinki and Madrid agreements will necessarily have to be commensurate with the resources available to the Council.
