§ 42. Mr. Chetwyndasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs why there is no British member of the United Nations delegation to the Korean truce talks.
§ Mr. NuttingI would refer the hon. Member to the reply which I gave to the hon. Member for Bristol, South-East (Mr. Benn), on 12th November.
§ Mr. ChetwyndAs that reply was not very satisfactory, may I ask the hon. Gentleman if he is aware of the growing disquiet in this country at the delay in reaching a settlement and the general obscurity surrounding these talks? Does not he think that at this stage the addition of a British representative might speed things up and bring a greater sense of urgency to the matter?
§ Mr. NuttingThe question of delay or otherwise in the negotiations is another matter. I am merely answering the Question of whether there should or should not be a British member of the United Nations Delegation at the truce talks.
