HC Deb 01 December 1970 vol 807 c1077
Q3. Mr. Peter Archer

asked the Prime Minister if he will seek to make an official visit to Brazil.

The Prime Minister

I have at present no plans to do so.

Mr. Archer

Will the Prime Minister find another method of indicating to the Brazilian Government public disquiet in this country at the near-extinction of the Indian minority and the number of people imprisoned in Brazil simply because they disagree with the Government, or does the right hon. Gentleman accept no responsibility for international human rights obligations?

The Prime Minister

The Brazilian Government must be well aware of the reports which have appeared in the Press in this country and the attitude which has been taken on them, but it is a matter for which the Brazilian Government themselves must answer.
