HC Deb 12 July 1993 vol 228 cc349-50W
Mr. Wareing

To ask the Prime Minister what discussions he has had during the past two weeks with Lord Owen on the issue of the selective lifting of sanctions against Serbia; and if he will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

I have had no such discussions with Lord Owen during the past two weeks. At the Group of Seven economic summit in Tokyo on 7–9 July, 1 and other Heads of Government reaffirmed that sanctions will be upheld against Serbia and Montenegro until the conditions in the relevant Security Council resolutions on the former Yugoslavia are met.
