Mr. Ron Brownasked the Prime Minister if any recent consideration has been given to developing diplomatic relations with the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea; if she will seek to arrange a meeting with that country's president, to discuss the matter; and if she will make a statement.
§ The Prime MinisterThere are no plans to develop diplomatic relations with North Korea which we do not recognise as a state. Nor do I intend to seek a meeting of the kind proposed by the hon. Member.
