HC Deb 22 July 1981 vol 9 c152W
16. Mr. Nicholas Winterton

asked the Lord Privy Seal what steps Her Majesty's Government have taken to involve Jordan in the autonomy talks provided for under the Camp David agreement.

Mr. Hurd

The autonomy talks, which so far have not included Jordan, are a matter for the Governments of Israel, Egypt and the United States. The talks are at present stalled. If they resume, we hope they will evolve in a form acceptable to the Palestinians and to Jordan, without whose co-operation lasting peace will not be possible.
