HC Deb 27 January 1954 vol 522 c237W
80. Mr. Foot

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on future British policy about Trieste.

Mr. Selwyn Lloyd

As the Prime Minister informed the House on 17th December, our policy is to withdraw our troops in conditions which will consolidate the forces of peace in the area. Now that tension has been reduced, consultations are continuing through the diplomatic channel between the Governments concerned in order to promote a solution of the problem.
