HC Deb 18 March 1981 vol 1 c129W
25. Mr. Adley

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will make a statement on progress with the European initiative on the Palestine problem.

Sir Ian Gilmour

The Netherlands Foreign Minister, Mr. van der Klaauw, is now engaged in discussions with the parties concerned in order to explore the practical implementation of the principles set out in the Venice declaration. He is expected to report his conclusions towards the end of the Dutch Presidency. The Ten will then need to consider how best to take forward their efforts with a view to a practical contribution to a peace settlement.
