HC Deb 21 July 1975 vol 896 cc18-9W
Mr. Newens

asked the Minister of Overseas Development if he will make any further grant of aid to Indonesia subject to the condition that internationally recognised human rights are applied in the treatment of political prisoners.

Mr. Prentice

No. I share the concern felt by many in this country for the plight of those detained in Indonesia, but I do not believe in the use of aid to seek to secure political objectives.
