HC Deb 20 January 1977 vol 924 cc307-8W
Mr. Dykes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what efforts he is making to revive the adjourned Geneva Conference on a Rhodesian settlement, under British chairmanship.

Mr. Rowlands

The Conference Chairman, Mr. Richard, has just begun his second round of consultations in Africa with all the parties concerned. He will be presenting in a more precise form Her Majesty's Government's ideas on a possible structure for a transitional Government, which he discussed in general terms during his first round of consultations, and a decision about the reconvening of the Conference will be taken in the light of this.
