HC Deb 24 July 1969 vol 787 c467W
Mr. Luard

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he proposes to take, as Co-Chairman of the Geneva Conference, in view of the renewed outbreak of fighting in Laos.

Mr. M. Stewart

I view with gravity the latest outbreak of fighting in Laos, which is the result of the continuing violation by the North Vietnamese of the 1962 Geneva Agreement. I have therefore, at the request of the Prime Minister of Laos, already made an urgent approach to the Soviet Co-Chairman proposing joint action.
