HC Deb 22 December 1982 vol 34 cc611-2W
Mr. Colvin

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a further statement on the progress of negotiations on the future of Namibia.

Mr. Onslow

Discussions are continuing between the Governments of the United States, Angola and South Africa on questions of regional security, including the withdrawal of Cuban troops from Angola. A successful outcome to these negotiations should finally open the way to a Namibia settlement. We remain in close touch with the parties concerned.
