I have received the following communication, which I think I ought to read out to the House:
"Dear Mr. SPEAKER of the House of Commons,
On leaving the borders of your country, the Delegation of the Supreme Soviet of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics expresses to you, and in your person to the whole of the House of Commons, its sincere thanks for the most cordial welcome given to our Delegation. We are returning to our homeland convinced that the strengthening of friendly relations between Great Britain and the U.S.S.R. is the common aim of our peoples and will contribute to the establishment of a universal, stable and lasting peace.
Allow me to transmit through you to the people of Great Britain my best wishes for its success in its economic and cultural progress.
(Signed) V. KUZNETSOV."
Hear, hear
