§ Lord Brockway
asked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether it is probable that the Law of the Sea Conference will resume in the light of President Reagan's reported statement that the United States was willing to participate; and if so, when.

§ Lord Trefgarne
The next session of the United Nations Law of the Sea Conference will be held in New York from 8th March to 30th April. We welcome the statement by President Reagan that the United States will return to the negotiations and work with other countries to achieve an acceptable treaty.
