Mr. Austin Mitchell

To ask the Prime Minister whether Her Majesty's Government will promote the reunification of Germany and a political settlement between Germany and the East European states on terms acceptable to the Federal Republic of Germany.

The Prime Minister

I remind the hon. Gentleman of article 7 of the convention on relations in the Bonn-Paris conventions of 1955Pending the Peace Settlement the signatory states will co-operate to achieve, by peaceful means, the common aim of a reunified Germany enjoying a liberal-democratic constitution, like that of the Federal Republic. This long-standing commitment enjoys our continuing support.
