§ Sir T. Beamishasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what discussions of the problem of Cyprus he intends to have with the United Nations mediator; and what proposals for a political solution he will put forward.
§ Mr. R. A. ButlerThe formulation of proposals for a solution of the Cyprus problem is a matter for the United Nations mediator and Her Majesty's Government have taken up no position with regard to what these might be. But our policy has always been to work for conditions which will allow the parties principally concerned to agree on a mutually acceptable solution and we are of course ready to co-operate fully with the mediator to this end if requested to do so.
