HC Deb 23 February 1989 vol 147 c750W
Mr. Latham

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Her Majesty's consul general in Jerusalem has conveyed to local Palestinian leaders the views of Her Majesty's Government on call number 34, issued by the unified national leadership of the uprising, describing 23 and 25 February as days of Palestinian Molotovs.

Mr. Waldegrave

We share the hon. Member's concern over the use of violence in the occupied territories. The membership of the "unified national leadership of the uprising" is anonymous, but Her Majesty's consul general in Jerusalem has repeated our concern in his contacts with leading Palestinians.

Mr. Latham

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has communicated to the Palestine Liberation Organisation its views on the proposal contained in call number 34 that 23 and 25 February should be days of Palestinian Molotovs.

Mr. Waldegrave

We share the hon. Member's concern over the use of violence in the occupied territories, and have made our views clear to representatives of the PLO.
