HC Deb 20 May 1968 vol 765 cc4-5W
Mr. Wellbeloved

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, as Co-Chairman of the Geneva Conference, what communication he has received regarding the renunciation of the use of force by the principal combatants in the Vietnam war.

Mr. M. Stewart

None. Her Majesty's Government hope, however, that the present talks taking place in Paris will lead to an end to all the fighting and to a just and honourable settlement of the conflict.

Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will make a statement on his further discussions with the Soviet Ambassador in London regarding efforts to secure peace in Vietnam.

Mr. M. Stewart

I am glad to say that as a result of contacts with Mr. Gromyko through the Soviet Ambassador in London I have accepted an invitation to visit Moscow on 22nd and 23 rd May. Vietnam will, of course, be among the subjects discussed.
