asked the Lord Privy Seal what is now the policy of Her Majesty's Government regarding the reestablishment of a committee or commission to negotiate a disarmament agreement, and regarding the composition of such a body.

We hope that an acceptable agreement will result from the negotiations between the Americans and Russians unanimously called for on 2nd November by the Political Committee. We are prepared to support the establishment of any suitable forum perhaps by adding to the original Ten-Power Committee representatives of other geographical areas or schools of thought.
