HC Deb 27 June 1984 vol 62 c480W
29. Mr. Strang

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the Government will support the Four Continents' Peace Initiative; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Luce

We join the signatories of the appeal in restating our conviction that there must never be another world war. Our aim is to prevent all war. We believe that security between East and West would be better improved by the negotiation of balanced reductions in the weapons of the super powers rather than a freeze. We therefore urge the Soviet Union to resume negotiations without preconditions.
