HC Deb 18 January 1988 vol 125 c497W
Mr. Gregory

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if the United Kingdom will be officially represented at the negotiations over the future of Afghanistan.

Mr. Eggar

The only formal negotiations are the proximity talks which take place at Geneva under the auspices of the United Nations Secretary General's personal representative. They involve the Kabul regime and the Government of Pakistan. The United Kingdom is not represented.
