HC Deb 10 January 1990 vol 164 c649W
47. Dr. Michael Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representation he has received on the Indo-Nepalese trade and transit dispute; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Sainsbury

We have received many representations. We have been very concerned at this dispute, and its effects on the people of Nepal, and are therefore much encouraged by the new Indian Government's statements about the need to improve relations with Nepal, and by the news that the two Foreign Ministers will meet soon.
