§ 26. Mr. G. Campbellasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on Her Majesty's Government's policy regarding the future of the United Nations force in Cyprus.
§ Mr. FoleyThe rôle of the United Nations Force in Cyprus continue to be very important. We recently supported the extension of the Mandate up to 15th December. We hope that progress towards a settlement will permit further reductions in its strength, and in the end a termination of its task.
§ Mr. CampbellAs the Cyprus situation has, fortunately, been improving, and as the life of the United Nations force has hitherto been extended at short notice for short periods, are the Government considering carefully the need, when the time comes, for a well-organised and perhaps gradual withdrawal?
