– in the House of Commons am 12:00 am ar 19 Ebrill 1948.
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.
Is the position, then, that the British:Government are doing nothing until further representations are made?
Mr. McNeil:
I can scarcely see that there is any obligation on His Majesty's Government.
Has the Minister of State any information about an impending telegram to Guatemala from hon. Members behind him?
