§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on progress made in implementation of United Nations Security Council resolution 789 of 24 November on Cyprus; and what is Her Majesty's Government's policy on Cyprus.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydInter-communal negotiations chaired by the United Nations Secretary-General will resume in New York in March. Security Council Resolution 789 sets out a series of confidence-building measures. These have been accepted in principle by President Vassiliou of Cyprus, but not yet by the Turkish side.
