HC Deb 19 April 1948 vol 449 c1438
58. Mr. Erroll

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what progress he is making in his discussions with Guatemala concerning British Honduras.

Mr. McNeil

No discussions are being or have been conducted with the Guatemalan Government though exchanges of views in official Notes have taken place. His Majesty's Government, however, are still anxious to reach a settlement of this dispute and are prepared carefully to consider any reasonable proposals.

Mr. Erroll

Is the position, then, that the British:Government are doing nothing until further representations are made?

Mr. McNeil

I can scarcely see that there is any obligation on His Majesty's Government.

Mr. Keeling

Has the Minister of State any information about an impending telegram to Guatemala from hon. Members behind him?
