	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2016 answer text <p>We welcome the courageous leadership of President Anastasiades and Mr Akıncı on the Cyprus Settlement negotiations, and the efforts of the two sides in their recent talks in Mont Pelerin. As the UN has commented, despite their best efforts, the Leaders were not at this stage able to reach the necessary further convergences on the criteria for territorial adjustment while in Switzerland. We continue to believe that with courage and compromise on both sides a deal is achievable. The UK will continue its steadfast support for a just and lasting settlement, and we stand ready to help bring the process to a successful conclusion.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 24/11/2016 16:13:39 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
