HC Deb 01 June 1967 vol 747 c59W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will take steps to actuate the present international organisations whose object is to make and preserve international peace to invite North and South Vietnamese Ministers to a conference to devise means of ending the Vietnam war.

Mr. George Brown

We are of course ready to take any steps which might lead to the ending of the Vietnamese war. However, I have no reason to think that the North Vietnamese or their allies are yet ready to attend a conference.
