§ Mr. JannerTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) whether the United Kingdom ambassador to the United Nations this year had raised the issue of UN resolution 3379 with all the members of the Security Council or whether there are any plans to do so; and whom the ambassador has met to discuss this issue;
(2) with which countries he intends to discuss the issue of repealing UN resolution 3379 in his forthcoming bilateral contacts;
(3) if he will list the states with which he has raised the issue of rescinding UN resolution 3379 in bilateral contacts.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe United Kingdom permanent representative to the United Nations in New York is currently discussing with his EC colleagues and representatives of other UN missions how best to secure the repeal of this odious resolution. We have said that we are ready to co-sponsor a draft resolution which revokes it.320W We expect to discuss the matter with a wide range of countries at the United Nations and shall be seeking the support of other delegations before a repealing resolution is put to a vote. The repeal of a General Assembly resolution is not, however, a matter for the Security Council.
