§ 54. Mr. Leadbitterasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, what further steps have been taken either directly with the Governments in the Middle East or in the United Nations towards establishing a peaceful settlement.
§ Mr. Goronwy RobertsAs my right hon. Friend told the House on 20th May, the Speial Representative of the Secretary-General in the Middle East, Dr. Jarring, has now secured the agreement of the three principal parties to continue his contracts with them in New York. While these discussions are taking place, I do not think that any separate initiatives in the United Nations or elsewhere would be likely to be helpful to his mission.—[Vol. 765, c. 8–9.]
