HL Deb 22 March 1982 vol 428 c918WA
Lord Brockway

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have information regarding the progress of the Islamic Mediation delegation which is seeking to end the war between Iraq and Iran.

Lord Carrington

Following visits to Baghdad and Tehran on 7th and 8th March, the Islamic Conference's Good Offices Committee said that both Iran and Iraq had reaffirmed their wish for a peaceful resolution of the conflict. But differences over preconditions for a ceasefire and a negotiated settlement exist which the committee has said it will seek to resolve.
