To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the South African Government following the recent outbreaks of right-wing extremism; and if he will make a statement.

On 26 June the European Community and its member states issued a statement condemning the attack on 25 June on the world trade centre in Johannesburg.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary on 1 July at column589, to my hon. Friend the Member for Basingstoke (Mr. Hunter).

Mr. Hain

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will publish the information held by his Department(a) on the results in each state of the Nigerian presidential election on 12 June 1992 and (b) on the turnout figures.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The results and turnout figures for each state of the Nigerian presidential election held on 12 June 1993 have been published in Nigeria and are as follows:

The South African Government are well aware of our total support for the negotiation process, and of our view that it represents the only possibility of achieving a peaceful transition to democracy. We have frequently expressed our total condemnation of violence, and our conviction that those who use violence in an attempt to derail the negotiation process must not be allowed to succeed.
