HC Deb 24 January 1972 vol 829 c314W
58. Mr. Bryant Godman Irvine

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress has been made as a result of the initative taken by Her Majesty's Government, as co-President of the Geneva Conference, to reactivate the 1954 agreement on Cambodia.

Mr. Anthony Royle

Unfortunately the Soviet Co-Chairman would not agree to join with us in seeking to re-establish the International Control Commission in the Khmer Republic. We believe this step would have helped the Khmer Government's courageous efforts, with which we have the greatest sympathy, to resist North Vietnamese aggression.
