HC Deb 17 December 1973 vol 866 c264W
Dr. Miller

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs on how many occasions Her Majesty's Government have raised the question of Israeli prisoners of war with the Syrian authorities; when these representations were made; where they were made; to whom they were made; and what response has been elicited.

Lord Balniel

We have been in touch with the Syrians on several occasions and continue to be in touch with them. The Syrian Government continue to make their implementation of the Third Geneva Convention conditional upon action by Israel in connection with the Fourth Convention.
