HC Deb 05 February 1986 vol 91 c180W
76. Mr. Rogers

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the latest developments in the Gulf war.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

We deplore the continuation of this tragic and wasteful conflict which is now well into its sixth year. We continue to support the United Nations Secretary-General and his special representative Mr. Olof Palme in their efforts to find a peaceful solution. We will do all we can to help bring about the earliest possible settlement.
