HC Deb 24 January 1972 vol 829 c317W
Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what further initiatives Her Majesty's Government is taking in connection with the situation in the Middle East.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he has taken or intends taking during 1972 to attempt to resolve the problems of the Middle East in general and the Israeli-Egyptian dispute in particular; and whether this will include a visit by himself to these two countries.

Mr. Godber

Her Majesty's Government remain ready to help in any way open to us, to promote the search for a settlement.

As the House will remember, my right hon. Friend visited Cairo last September at the invitation of the Egyptian Government, and will be visiting Israel in March.
