HL Deb 15 March 1982 vol 428 c511WA
Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will raise the question of East Timor with the inter-governmental group on Indonesia and with ASEAN.

Lord Carrington

No. We regard East Timor as an issue between the Portuguese and Indonesian Governments in the first instance, and the Indonesian Government are already aware of our views on the human rights aspects of the question.
