<p>The Government keeps under consideration whether a new UN resolution would support
progress towards a political settlement in Yemen. Given the lack of agreement between
the parties to the conflict at present, we judge that the best opportunity for progress
comes through the appointment of Martin Griffiths as the new UN Special Envoy for
Yemen. We encourage the parties to return to negotiations without pre-conditions and
participate constructively in the UN-led political process. We were encouraged by
the Envoy's presentation to the UN Security Council on 17 April and will do all we
can, including through action at the Security Council if required, to support his
efforts to facilitate a political solution to the conflict in Yemen.</p>
