asked Her Majesty's Government:

How close they are to finalising negotiations with the Faroese Government over the delineation of the median line and what progress has been made to date.

Discussions are continuing. A further round of talks was held in Copenhagen on 16 July. Both sides agreed to make every effort to overcome their differences and try to find an agreed solution to the delimitation question in the near future.
