§ Sir Anthony Grantasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has any evidence of breaches of the SALT 2 agreement by the Soviet Union; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RentonAs my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister said on 3 June, we regard it as important that the SALT 2 agreement continues to be observed by both sides. We have made it clear that the Soviet Union has a case to answer, and we have repeatedly urged them to respond to legitimate United States concerns in appropriate ways, including through the machinery of the standing consultative commission.
