HC Deb 26 April 1991 vol 189 cc599-600W
Mr. Nellist

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the latest position of insurgents and refugees in the south of Iraq and on the Iran-Iraq border; and what aid Her Majesty's Government has sent and is proposing to send specifically for this area.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

I refer the hon. Member to the reply I gave on 25 April to the hon. Member for Newport, West (Mr. Flynn).

Mr. Winnick

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, once the safe havens have been duly established in Iraq and have been in working order for a while, he will arrange for a delegation of hon. Members to visit these sites.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We shall certainly ensure that hon. Members are kept fully informed of progress on the establishment of safe havens for Iraqi refugees and shall consider how this can best be done, if appropriate by including visits to the sites.
