§ Mr. Roseasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether, in view of Security Council Resolution 242 on the Middle East, he will now seek to initiate bilateral talks with a view to encouraging the recognition by the Palestine Liberation Organisation of the State of Israel and its right to secure frontiers and the recognition in return by the State of Israel of the right to national identity of the Palestinian people within equally defined frontiers.
§ Mr. EnnalsI shall bear the suggestion in mind but do not think the time is right for any such initiative.
