§ Mr. Gordon PrenticeTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish six-monthly reports on progress towards a resolution of the conflict in Kashmir. [67039]
§ Mr. FatchettOur view is that it is primarily for India and Pakistan to reach a solution over Kashmir although we have regularly repeated our willingness to assist if that is what the parties wish. We do not believe that publication of progress reports will help towards a settlement.
