HC Deb 10 July 1972 vol 840 cc243-4W
57. Mr. Kaufman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs why it was that the inquiry to his Department from the Arab League Office in London on 23rd February, 1972, with regard to the setting up in London of an office of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, was not answered until 27th April.

Mr. Godber

The implications of this request had to be considered against the background of British law.

Mr. Kaufman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the contacts between the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Arab League Office in London, with regard to the setting up in London of an office of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, took place by letter, by telephone, or at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, or at the Arab League Office, or at some other office, or on some social occasion, such as at lunch; and who acted as host.

Mr. Godber

There is nothing that I can usefully add to the reply I gave to the hon. Member on 6th July.—[Vol. 840, c.204–5.]
