HC Deb 11 February 1987 vol 110 c230W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why, on 22 January, he had to cancel a meeting with Philip Habib; and when this meeting was arranged.

Mrs. Chalker

The meeting of my right hon. and learned Friend with Mr. Philip Habib was arranged some days before it was due to take place. It was cancelled because the Foreign Secretary had to attend other urgent business. Mr. Habib was received by a senior FCO official instead.
