HC Deb 13 April 1983 vol 40 cc410-1W
37. Dr. M. S. Miller

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, during his discussions with King Hussein of Jordan, the King indicated his willingness to play a more prominent and direct part in future negotiations for a solution of middle east problems; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Pym

As the statement of the Jordanian Council of Ministers on 10 April makes absolutely clear, King Hussein has been playing an active, prominent and direct role in the current efforts to make progress towards peace. He has our full support, despite the setback which has occured. The details of our discussions during the King's recent visit to London and my own visit to Amman on 12 April must of course remain confidential.
