asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what progress he is making in his discussions with Guatemala concerning British Honduras.

Mr. McNeil:

No discussions are being or have been conducted with the Guatemalan Government though exchanges of views in official Notes have taken place. His Majesty's Government, however, are still anxious to reach a settlement of this dispute and are prepared carefully to consider any reasonable proposals.

Mr. McNeil:

I can scarcely see that there is any obligation on His Majesty's Government.
