§ Mr. BowisTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the current Khmer Rouge offensive in western Cambodia, Kompong Speu province and Phnom Penh; and what steps he is taking individually or with the international community to prevent the reimposition of tyranny on the Cambodian people.
§ Mr. SainsburyWe note with concern reports of increased military activity by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, but cannot confirm their accuracy. As permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, we continue to work for a comprehensive political settlement enabling the Cambodian people to elect a Government of their choice, free from the fear of Khmer Rouge atrocities, foreign occupation or civil war.
