HC Deb 16 June 1982 vol 25 c304W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will arrange an early meeting with Yasser Arafat.

Mr. Hurd

We have frequently said that a ministerial meeting with Yasser Arafat would only be possible if this were to contribute to the search for Middle East peace. We continue to urge the PLO to make clear that it is ready as part of a settlement to accept Israel's right to live in peace.
