§ Dr. Edmund Marshallasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what was the outcome of the meeting held during September between officials of his Department and of the Government of the Republic of Ireland concerning the delimitation of the continental shelf between the United Kingdom and the Republic.
§ Mr. Rifkind:The meeting scheduled for September did not take place because the necessary preliminary work has taken longer than expected. A date has not yet been fixed, but we hope that a meeting will take place soon.
