HC Deb 05 February 1993 vol 218 c391W
Dr. Spink

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions he has had with the Turkish Government about progress made by the United Nations on Cyprus; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Garel-Jones

The Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary discussed Cyprus with their Turkish counter-parts in London on 23 November. The Secretary of State has since kept in close touch via our ambassador in Ankara. He has made clear to the Turks that we expect them to encourage the Turkish Cypriots to work actively towards a settlement.
