§ Mr. Neil HamiltonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if Her Majesty's Government will make it their policy to go further than the proposals in United Nations resolution 598 (1987), requesting the Secretary General to explore the possibility of appointing an impartial body to inquire into the responsibility for starting the Iran/Iraq war, and propose that such a body be now appointed.
§ Mr. MellorThe establishment of an impartial body to investigate responsibility for the conflict is one of a number of elements of Security Council resolution 598 currently under discussion. We are anxious to see both parties comply with the resolution as a whole.
