§ Mrs. ClwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations have been made to the Government of Thailand about recent human rights violations.
§ Mr. GoodladI summoned the Thai ambassador in London on 19 May to express our serious concern about the recent violence in Bangkok and the excessive use of force by the Thai army. I urged the Thai Government and army to show maximum restraint in their handling of the situation and to avoid further casualties. Along with our EC partners, we are keeping the situation in Thailand under regular review.
