HC Deb 05 July 1995 vol 263 cc258-9W
25. Mrs. Roche

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the current situation in Cyprus. [30919]

Mr. David Davis

The present division of Cyprus is unacceptable. We are actively supporting the UN Secretary-General's mission of good offices which offers the best hope for a just and lasting solution.

Exploratory discussions between representatives of the two communities in Cyprus took place in London on 21 to 23 May. We are encouraging both sides in Cyprus to approach future negotiations positively and flexibly.
