HC Deb 16 March 1981 vol 1 cc30-1W
Mr. Michael Latham

asked the Lord Privy Seal on how many occasions since he took office officials of his Department have met representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organisation for scheduled discussions, rather than chance encounters at social occasions.

Mr. Hurd

If the term "scheduled discussions" is taken to include all types of meetings arranged with Palestine Liberation Organisation representatives in diferent capitals of the world, except those concerned with ephemeral matters such as visas, the total is about 30. It is not possible to give a precise figure.
