HC Deb 06 December 1965 vol 722 cc12-3W
71. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, in view of the fact that the Hanoi Government has been willing to negotiate, he will now, in pursuance of Her Majesty's Government's initiative to secure peace in Vietnam, renew his endeavours to bring the parties together.

Mr. M. Stewart

In view of the full replies given by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister to similar questions on 25th November, I need only add that a broadcast commentary on the same day from Hanoi described the story that negotiations were proposed by North Vietnam last year as a legend fabricated by an American newspaper.
