HC Deb 18 April 1988 vol 131 c296W
Mr. Soley

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's Government have had any recent discussions with the Government of Turkey on the withdrawal of Turkish troops from Cyprus; and if he will make a statement.

Mrs. Chalker

My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister discussed the problem of Cyprus with the Turkish Prime Minister, Mr. Ozal, in Ankara on 7 April. She reaffirmed the Government's view that good-will gestures by all the parties would make the resumption of intercommunal talks easier.
