Finally, I would make an appeal for no more appeals. Too often we have heard that greater political commitment by parties concerned could bring these negotiations to speedy conclusion. Of course we want a convention, an effective convention, as soon as possible. But many of the remaining answers can only be found through research, investigation and trails not here, but in relevant facilities, both military and civil, in the territory of member States of the Conference on Disarmament. This work should go ahead quickly. The clearest signal of political commitment to a chemical weapons convention that any State can give is to involve itself in this work back at home and to present concrete results here. Verification is the key, and challenge inspection is the key to verification. Once we can resolve all the problems of challenge inspection, the long-sought goal of a verifiable chemical weapons convention will be in sight. The PRESIDENT: I thank the Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom for his important statement and for the kind words that he addressed to the Chair. I should like now to ask whether any other delegation wishes to take the floor at this stage. I see none. The secretariat has circulated today a timetable of meetings to be held next week by the Conference and its subsidiary bodies. The timetable has been CD/PV.564 7 (The President) prepared in consultation with the Chairmen of subsidiary bodies and as usual is merely indicative and subject to change, if necessary. If there is no objection, I shall take it that the Conference adopts the timetable. It was so decided. I have no other business for today and I intend now to adjourn this plenary meeting. The next plenary meeting of the Conference on Disarmament will be held on Tuesday, 17 July, at 10 a.m.
