HC Deb 18 November 1987 vol 122 cc596-7W
59. Mr. Cash

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a further statement on the future of East-West relations.

Mr. Mellor

We welcome the prospect of the United States-Soviet summit beginning on 7 December. We hope that it will bring not only agreement on intermediate nuclear forces but further progress on measures of arms control, human rights and regional conflicts. We will continue to work for better East-West relations from our position as a stalwart European member of the North Atlantic Alliance.
