§ Mr. WorthingtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on developments in respect of the Organisation of African Unity proposal to send a peace-keeping force to Burundi.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydThe first elements of the OAU observer mission have arrived in Burundi. On 6 April east African Heads of State and the Organisation of African Unity Secretary-General met in Dar es Salaam. They reaffirmed the vital role of the OAU in restoring confidence in Burundi and called for the strengthening of its engagement. We very much hope that despite the tragic death of President Ntaryamira the process of national reconciliation will continue.
