HC Deb 30 January 1964 vol 688 cc87-8W
66. Mr. Awbery

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, following the conclusion of the Cyprus conference, he will take steps to bring the dispute in Cyprus before the United Nations for settlement.

Mr. R. A. Butler

The Conference on Cyprus has not yet concluded and it would be premature now to decide what action will be appropriate when it does. Meanwhile we are in close touch with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, who has sent a personal representative to Cyprus to observe the peace-making operation there.

68. Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what information he has given to the Security Council in accordance with Article 54 of the United Nations Charter, regarding the activities which are in contemplation by the regional agency concerned with the settlement of the dispute over Cyprus.

Mr. R. A. Butler

Information on the steps taken to maintain peace and security in Cyprus has already been given to the Security Council, in accordance with Article 54 of the United Nations Charter, in a letter sent on the 8th of January. A copy of this letter was circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT on 14th January. It would be premature to report to the Security Council on any further steps to maintain peace and security in the area which may be contemplated until all the interested parties are agreed on such steps.
