§ Mr. Jim CunninghamTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what communications his Department is undertaking with the Greek Cypriots to seek an alternative to the Annan Plan. [174503]
§ Mr. MacShaneThe Government's position continues to be one of support for the UN Secretary General's Plan. We believe that this offers the best possible basis for a settlement. Now is not the time to seek an alternative to the Annan Plan.
We look forward to the UN Secretary General's report on his Good Offices Mission and his thinking on next steps.
