That this House notes with sadness that on Saturday 5th August the Annual Ceremony will take place at Dherynia in Cyprus to commemorate the 26th Anniversary of the occupation of Famagusta, when Mr Andreas Pouyouros, Mayor of the Municipality of Famagusta, at the barbed wire will yet again present a petition to the United Nations for the liberation of his city which will be visible in the distance empty, ruined and unapproachable in the occupied zone; and deeply regrets this tragic waste of Famagusta not only for its amenities but as a test bed where it could be proved that Greek and Turkish Cypriots can yet live, work, play and do business peacefully together despite 26 years of enforced separation.

That this House welcomes the publication of the Seventh Report of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee; notes the observation of the Committee that the Greek case on the Elgin Marbles as presented to the Committee represents part of a development of that Government's case, that the current case does not dwell on the circumstances of the acquisition or legal issues, and emphasises the paramount importance of a change in the location of the marbles rather than their ownership; welcomes the statement of the Minister for the Arts, as recorded in paragraph 152 of the report, that Her Majesty's Government was happy to discuss the issue of the marbles, and that any progress was dependent upon 'a closer meeting of minds, a closer mutual understanding of each other's point of view'; and urges Her Majesty's Government immediately to enter into discussions with the Greek Government, with a new emphasis on what is possible rather than what is not possible, with regard to the future location of the sculptures of the Parthenon.
