HL Deb 19 December 1995 vol 567 c137WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they intend to commission, along with other west European governments, a study of the steps by which those governments came to recognise, and to accord permanent international boundaries to, certain component parts of the Yugoslav Federation, and how those boundaries accord with the relevant CSCE provisions and with the opinions of the citizens of these areas; and if they do not intend so to do, whether and if so how they propose to ensure that such steps are avoided on other occasions.

Lord Chesham

We do not intend to commission a study. Each case of the recognition of a state is considered on its own merits.
