HL Deb 22 July 1999 vol 604 c118WA
Lord Moynihan

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What action they will take with regard to the future of East Timor if a positive security assessment cannot be made ahead of next month's United Nations consultation process. [HL3653]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

The security situation in East Timor remains a cause for concern. Our focus now is on working with all involved to help secure real improvements so that a positive assessment can be made and so that UNAMET, whose work we have been actively supporting, can conduct a free and fair consultation of the East Timorese people.
