HC Deb 23 March 1981 vol 1 c242W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Lord Privy Seal if he will publish the substance of resolution 35/150 adopted by consensus by the United Nations General Assembly and cosponsored by the United Kingdom on an Indian Ocean peace zone.

Mr. Hurd

The main operative paragraphs of this resolution took note of the report of the United Nations Ad Hoc Committee on the Indian Ocean; requested the Committee to continue its efforts for the necessary harmonisation of views on the issues related to the convening of a conference on the Indian Ocean as a zone of peace; and asked it, in the light of progress on this, to make every effort to finalise preparations for such a conference.
