§ 75. Mr. Tom Dribergasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if Her Majesty's Government have now studied the Report of the United Nations Mediator on Cyprus; and if he will indicate the Government's policy on this Report, and in particular on the recommendations in paragraphs 170 and 172.
§ Mr. PadleyWe have given the Mediator's Report most careful study. Our policy remains that we are prepared to assist in the promotion of any settlement likely to prove acceptable to all the parties to the dispute. It would not therefore be appropriate for me to comment on the proposals in paragraph 172 of the Report which deal with a hypothetical situation. Her Majesty's Government support the recommendation in paragraph 170 that there should be meetings between the parties concerned.
