Letter to the Secretary of State for Foreign
and Commonwealth Affairs from the Chairman of the Committee
The Committee this week considered the Government's
Response to the Report on Cyprus, published in February.
We will wish to follow up a number of the specific
responses at the end of the UK Presidency. Meanwhile, however,
my colleagues and I are anxious to ensure that there is no loss
of momentum in efforts to resolve the two communities' differences.
I would be grateful, therefore, to learn what the Government has
been doing to, in the words of your response, "place a high
emphasis on the successful resolution of Cyprus-related issues
during our own EU Presidency" and whether any new initiative
is planned, be it in the context of the EU, the UN or some other
forum.
