§ 30. Mr. Hugh Fraserasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will now instruct Her Majesty's Ambassador in Washington to discuss with the United States Administration the implications of the signing into law by President Carter of anti-Arab boycott legislation on 22nd June.
§ Mr. JuddMy right hon. Friend has discussed this subject with several Foreign Ministers, including those of Israel and certain Arab countries. The British embassies in a number of Western countries, including the United States, have been instructed to keep in touch with the Governments concerned about developments relating to the boycott. The Government's opposition to the boycott is well known and has been frequently stated on the record in unequivocal terms. But it can, of course, only be ended by those Arab States which subscribe to it.
