Dear Mr Bryson
I write on Lord Runcie's
behalf to thank you for your letter of 31 January; his term of
office as Archbishop ceased that day.
Lord Runcie is very
well aware of the origins of the Palestinian question. In a speech
in the House of Lords on 6 September, he expressly recognised
that the duplicity of British Governments earlier this century
could not be ignored in any consideration of the problems of the
Middle East. He has on many occasions called for a just settlement
of the Palestinian question and any just settlement must certainly
include 'land for peace'.
You might be interested
to see the text of the speech I have referred to, together with
a further speech made by Lord Runcie in the House of Lords on
15 January.
Yours Sincerely
John Lyttle
