HC Deb 31 July 1998 vol 317 cc603-4W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Prime Minister what factors led him to say on 11 May that Mr. Peter Penfold had done a superb job in working closely with President Kabbah. [54261]

The Prime Minister

Like my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary, I have consistently recognised the contribution made by Mr. Penfold to relations between Britain and Sierra Leone, and to Britain's standing with the people of Sierra Leone. His close relationship with President Kabbah has been an important part of that contribution.
