§ 105. Mr. Donnellyasked the Under-Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations whether he will make a statement on Her Majesty's Government's policy towards the Kashmir dispute, in so far as it constitutes a danger to world peace, consequent upon resolutions of the United Nations.
§ Mr. AlportI would refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my predecessor to a Question by my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for Lewes (Major Beamish) on 20th December. Since that date, the Security Council has passed a Resolution requesting their President, Mr. Jarring, to examine with the Governments of India and Pakistan any proposals which, in his opinion, are likely to contribute towards a settlement of the dispute, having regard to the previous Resolutions of the Security Council and of the United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan. Her Majesty's Government very much hope that the mission undertaken by Mr. Jarring, who is particularly well qualified for the task which he has undertaken, will lead to progress towards a settlement of the dispute.
