HC Deb 01 July 1987 vol 118 c108W
51. Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he next intends to meet his counterpart from the USSR to discuss Anglo-Soviet relations.

Mr. Mellor

Mr. Shevardnadze has invited my right hon. and learned Friend to visit the Soviet Union. He hopes to take up the invitation later this year when, of course, Anglo-Soviet relations would be discussed. He may also meet Mr. Shevardnadze at the United Nations General Assembly in New York in the autumn.
