§ Mr. John Pageasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, in the light of the Burmese Government's announcement on 4 November about the responsibility for the assassination of five Ministers of the Republic of Korea, 12 other Koreans and four Burmese citizens, if he will make a statement on the United Kingdom's relations with the countries concerned.
§ Mr. LuceFollowing the announcement by the Burmese Government, we took the earliest opportunity to condemn the North Korean terrorist act. I should like once again to express our sense of outrage. We have made known our approval and sympathy for the Burmese Government's firm action. The steadfastness in the face of tragedy shown by the Government and people of the Republic of Korea have impressed us all.
