§ Mr. SimpsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the purpose of the further proposed amendment of the 1958 Anglo-American mutual defence agreement. [17477]
§ Mr. David DavisThere are no further proposed amendments to the 1958 UK/US mutual defence agreement. The hon. Member may be referring to Cm 2785. This is the same amendment which was laid before the House in October last year in the country series of Command Papers. Its appearance in the treaty series simply records that it has entered into force for the United Kingdom.
