Lord Avebury asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: The European Commission takes a close interest in progress of the UN settlement process and refers to it in its reports on Cyprus.
Government policy on Cyprus's entry into the European Union remains clear and unchanged: our objective is for Cyprus to enter the EU after a settlement, but we do not consider a settlement to be a pre-condition for accession. The Helsinki European Council endorsed this view and noted that the decision on Cyprus's accession would take account of all relevant factors.
The Earl of Caithness: asked Her Majesty's Government:
Baroness Scotland of Asthal: I attach details of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's estate sales and purchases for the financial years 1998-99 and 1999-2000.
Over the next three financial years sales of property are planned in over 80 posts. To date, 20 posts have been earmarked for investment through purchase and/or construction.
It is our policy not to reveal commercially sensitive sales or purchase figures for individual properties. Neither are we able to reveal details of properties under consideration for asset recycling, in order to protect the Foreign and Commonwealth Office's interests in negotiations with third parties.
