§ Mrs. Clwyd
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on Her Majesty's Government's response to the statement by United States Secretary of State Baker regarding Cambodia on 18 July.

§ Mr. Sainsbury
We welcome the United States decision to hold talks with Vietnam on Cambodia. We share the United States Government's determination to prevent the Khmer Rouge from taking power. Our common objective is to create conditions for the Cambodian people to elect a government, free from the fear of civil war and Khmer Rouge atrocities.

§ Mrs. Clwyd
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what composition of a Cambodian Supreme National Council was agreed by the United Nations Permanent Five in Paris on 16–17 July.
