§ Lord GORONWY-ROBERTSHer Majesty's Government are deeply concerned about the situation in Indo-China. We deplore the continued fighting in Vietnam in violation of the Paris Agreement of 1973, and have called on the Vietnamese parties to seek a political solution through a resumption of talks in accordance with that Agreement. The Government have set aside £1 million for relief work in Indo-China to help alleviate human suffering there.
