HC Deb 09 December 1976 vol 922 c299W
Mr. Luce

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the number of attempts since 1965 which Her Majesty's Government have made towards a negotiated settlement of the Guatemalan claim to Belize.

Mr. Rowlands

There have been three series of negotiations with Guatemala since 1965 aimed at obtaining a settlement over Belize—from 1969 to 1972, during 1975 and a new series which started in April 1976 and is continuing.
