Mr. Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what specific details he has received from King Hussein about the reported willingness of the section of the Palestine Liberation Organisation headed by Yasser Arafat to accept United Nations Security Council resolutions 242 and 338; and which Palestine Liberation Organisation leaders have been reported to him by United Kingdom ambassadors as having endorsed publicly the King's statement in Washington of 29 May.

Mr. Luce

King Hussein has confirmed that, as he stated in Washington he and the Palestine Liberation Organisation are ready to negotiate a peaceful settlement on the basis of pertinent United Nations resolutions, including Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. A PLO spokesman has announced to the press that Mr. Arafat supports the King's stand.
