HC Deb 19 February 1998 vol 306 c780W
Mr. Baker

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will seek to secure during the British Presidency of the EU the appointment of the EU/Tibet co-ordinator proposed in the recent resolution adopted by the European Parliament. [30407]

Mr. Fatchett

A delegation of EU Troika Ambassadors and the European Commission will visit Tibet during the UK Presidency in order to make an assessment of the situation. Neither we nor our EU partners could realistically consider the appointment of a co-ordinator ahead of that visit.
