Sultan of Brunei

HC Deb 16 January 1986 vol 89 cc628-9W

Mr. Sedgemore

asked the Prime Minister on what occasions since 1979 she met the Sultan of Brunei.

The Prime Minister

I met the Sultan of Brunei in June 1981 when he was in London studying the structure and operation of British government as part of the preparations for Brunei's independence. I also met the Sultan on three occasions last year: in January, when he was on a visit to London; in April, during the course of my tour of south and south-east Asia; and in October at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting.
