HC Deb 13 April 1983 vol 40 cc407-8W
19. Mr. Race

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement oncerning the progress of the inter-communal talks in Cyprus.

Mr. Hurd

Since Nov ember 1981 the representatives of the two communities have been holding regular meetings in Nicosia to discuss in detail the United Nations Secretary-General's evaluation. Some real, though limited, progress has been made. We hope that the parties will make full use of this opportunity, which is the best that has existed for some time.
