Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what reply he gave to Senor de Cuellar during his visit to London concerning the Secretary-General's mandate from the United Nations General Assembly to discuss the future of the Falkland Islands.

Mr. Whitney

The Secretary-General is aware of our attitude to Resolution 37/9 of the General Assembly, which gave him this mandate.

Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what response Her Majesty's Government have sent to the decolonisation committee of the United Nations in the light of its endorsing a resolution calling on the British and Argentine Governments to resume negotiations over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands.

Mr. Whitney

None. Our position on the resolution was made abundantly clear in the course of the debate that preceded its adoption.
