HC Deb 09 May 1960 vol 623 c6W
59. Mr. Fletcher

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, in view of the fact that the Geneva Conference on the Law of the Sea broke down by such a small and fortuitous vote, he will propose to the United Nations that the conference be reconvened at an early date.

Mr. Ormsby-Gore

It is too early to decide whether that would be appropriate. However, Her Majesty's Government are urgently studying with others concerned the best course to take. I hope that an announcement can be made shortly.
