Secretary of State Vance, to discuss potential difficulties of implementation arising from requirements and obligations entered into between the Federal Govern- ment and Her Majesty's Government.
Mr. Jadd: No. The special case of the Air Services Agreement between our two countries which, I think, the hon. Member has in mind has been thoroughly dis- cussed between our representatives in the context of the recent negotiation of that agreement.

30. Mr. Hugh Fraser asked the Secre- tary of State for Foreign and Common- wealth Affairs whether he will instruct Her Majesty's Ambassador in Washington to discuss with the United States Administration the implications of the signing into law by President Carter of anti-Arab boycott legislation on 22nd June.
Mr. Judd: My right hon. Friend has discussed this subject with several Foreign Ministers, including those of Israel and certain Arab countries. The British embassies in a number of Western coun- tries, including the United States, have been instructed to keep in touch with the Governments concerned about devel- opments relating to the boycott. The Government's opposition to the boycott is well known and has been frequently stated on the record in uaequivocal terms. But it can, of course, only be ended by those Arab States which subscribe to it.

Overseas Representation
20. Mr. Aitken asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he expects to publish the report by the Central Policy Review Staff on the future of Great Britain's diplomatic representation overseas.
Dr. Owen: I had hoped to publish the report this week, but I regret that there have been delays in printing. It now seems doubtful whether publication can be arranged earlier than 29th July, and even this date could slip. I apologise to the House for the delay.
The report is necessarily lengthy since it covers the whole field of overseas representation. Its recommendations also cover a number of departments, not just the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The Government feel that it is most important that there should be an oppor- tunity for all those concerned, not least the right hon. and hon. Members in this House, to express their views before taking any decisions. The staff sides will be fully consulted and the Government will wish to take full account of their views.
