HC Deb 16 June 1993 vol 226 c639W
30. Mr. Carrington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress is being made towards peace in the middle east.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

Another round of bilateral negotiations between the parties is beginning in Washington this week. There were encouraging signs at the end of the last round in May that the Israelis and Palestinians were beginning to address in detail issues of substance. We continue to urge on all parties the urgent need for further progress.
