Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Prime Minister if she will make it the policy of Her Majesty's Government to withdraw their troops from the peace-keeping force if Mr. Yasser Arafat ceases to be the leader of the Palestine Liberation Organisation; and if she will make a statement.
§ The Prime MinisterNo.
Mr. Campbell-Savoursasked the Prime Minister, in formulating their policy towards the Lebanon, what assessment Her Majesty's Government have made of the present conflict between the sectors of the Palestine Liberation Organisation led by Mr. Yasser Arafat and Mr. Abu Musa, respectively, and of the long-term effect of this conflict on the middle east.
§ The Prime MinisterWe deplore the current bloodshed in Lebanon and the suffering that it has caused, particularly to the civilian population. Violence can only make the task of finding a solution to the problems of the middle east even more difficult.
