§ Mr. Sillarsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, in view of events in Chile, he will seek international agreement to move the venue of the Law of the Sea Conference from Santiago.
§ Mr. Anthony RoyleThe Chilean Government have asked that an alternative venue be found for the 1974 meeting of the Law of the Sea Conference. They envisage that the 1975 meeting should be held in Santiago.120W The United Nations General Assembly will doubtless take full account of the Chilean Government's views when it reviews its decision on the schedule and venue for the conference (Resolution 3029A (XXVII) of 18th December 1972) during its current session. Her Majesty's Government hope that any change in venue would not affect the timing of the conference.
