HL Deb 08 February 1996 vol 569 c27WA
Baroness Jeger

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What progress is being made towards a settlement of the Cyprus problem.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey:

The prospect of EU accession negotiations provides both Cypriot communities with new opportunities to make progress. We will continue to exploit these opportunities in 1996 to press for an early resumption of direct talks to pursue a settlement based on a hi-zonal, hi-communal federation.
