§ Mr. Knoxasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he is satisfied with progress made at the recent Conference on the Law of the Sea in Geneva to the present time.
§ Mr. EnnalsIt did not prove possible at the Geneva session which ended on 9th May to reach agreement on the main issues before the conference.
