HC Deb 20 July 1977 vol 935 cc596-7W
Mr. Knox

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he has taken to find out how the recently announced programme of releases of political prisoners in Indonesia is proceeding, in view of the concern expressed by Her Majesty's Government at the 1977 meeting of the Intergovernmental Group on Indonesia about this matter.

Mr. Luard

At our request, our Ambassador in Jakarta has been keeping in regular touch with the Indonesian authorities, who have assured him that plans that have been announced for releasing prisoners who will not be bought to trial, are being implemented.
