HL Deb 26 October 1999 vol 606 c23WA
Lord Moynihan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the status of the United Kingdom-Netherlands draft resolution in the United Nations Security Council, following the failure to secure consensus amongst the Permanent Five Security Council members at the United Nations General Assembly in September. [HL4233]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

The objective of discussion on Iraq during Ministerial week at the UN General Assembly was to make further progress in our efforts to achieve consensus on a new comprehensive resolution. Discussion continues. We hope to bring the process to an early conclusion.
