HC Deb 13 December 1965 vol 722 c189W
53. Mr. Michael Foot

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what was the most recent occasion on which he had consultations with U Thant about the possibility of achieving peace in Vietnam.

Mr. George Thomson

When the Secretary-General visited London last July my right hon. Friend held detailed discussions on Vietnam and since then we have had further confidential exchanges with the Secretary-General. We are both well aware of the other's views, but unhappily there have been no new developments which would have made it useful to hold fresh talks in recent months.

54. Mr. Michael Foot

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what representations he has made, as co-Chairman of the Geneva Conference, to the Government of the United States of America to be given detailed reports of the scale of casualties in the Vietnam war.

Mr. George Thomson

None.
