33. Mr. Hawkins

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he plans to take to encourage Cyprus' accession to the EU. [9265]

Mr. David Davis

A comprehensive political settlement of the Cyprus problem in 1997 will help to ensure the success of negotiations on accession to the EU. We are working hard with our European partners, the United States and others in supporting UN-led efforts to that end.
