§ 52. Mr. Newensasked the Minister for Overseas Development if he will advise the British representatives to the intergovernmental group on Indonesia to raise 688W the issue of human rights in that country with the representatives of other Governments before any final decision is taken on the package of aid and loans to be provided for the next financial year.
§ Mrs. HartYes. I intend that the United Kingdom delegate should raise the issue again, while acknowledging the progress which has undoubtedly been made. I believe that that progress is at least partly due to our frequent representations and those of others. I shall keep in mind the human rights situation when deciding how much new British aid should be pledged at this meeting.
