§ Mr. Oakesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, now that he has assumed the Presidency of the European Community Council, he has any proposals to put to the European Economic Community Council of Ministers to resolve the continuing occupation of the Republic of Cyprus by Turkish forces.
§ Mr. EggarNo. The United Nations Secretary-General is best placed to bring about a peaceful, just and lasting settlement in Cyprus. This would naturally deal with the problem of foreign troops in the Republic. The EC Council of Ministers fully supports the Secretary-General's efforts.
