55. Mr. Dykes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress has been made towards a final constitutional settlement in Rhodesia; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Ennals

Her Majesty's Government are not in a position to comment on the progress of the talks now taking place between Mr. Smith and Mr. Nkomo. These are reported to be taking place in a cordial atmosphere, but both sides have agreed to keep the content of their discussions confidential for the time being.
