HC Deb 01 December 1989 vol 162 cc452-3W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the position taken by the Government in their vote with the consensus on United Nation General Assembly resolution 43/61 in December 1988 remains the policy of Her Majesty's Government.

Mr. Waldegrave

Our agreement to join consensus adoption of UN General Assembly resolution 43/61 reflects our support for its broad aims, rather than a detailed expression of our policy.
