HC Deb 03 July 1985 vol 82 cc172-3W
Mr. Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's ambassador in Amman has reported to him about the meeting between King Hussein, Yasir Arafat and the Jordanian army commander on 17 June concerning armed men from A1-fatah being allowed to resume guerrilla training on Jordanian soil; and whether any message has been conveyed to the King about this.

Mr. Rifkind

We have regular exchanges of view with the Jordanian Government on the search for a peaceful solution of the Arab/Israel dispute. We cannot confirm the particular decision at the particular meeting mentioned by my hon. Friend.

Mr. Latham

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what report he has received from Her Majesty's ambassador in Baghdad regarding the claim by the Palestine Liberation Organisation on Voice of Palestine radio in Baghdad on 18 June that eight terrorist attacks had been made in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other places in Israel on the previous day; and whether any message has been conveyed to the Iraqi Government about these incidents.

Mr. Rifkind

We have noted this claim. Our opposition to the use of violence to solve the Arab/Israel dispute is well known.
