HC Deb 08 June 1988 vol 134 c607W
35. Mr. Chapman

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the current state of United Kingdom-Soviet relations.

Mr. Mellor

Relations are at their best for many years, with an active high level political dialogue. Fundamental differences remain but these are discussed frankly with the aim of finding solutions wherever possible. We shall continue to work for further improvements in all areas of bilateral relations and in particular for increased informal exchanges of all kinds between our peoples.
