HC Deb 22 February 1978 vol 944 c716W
33. Mr. Ovenden

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the attitude of Her Majesty's Government towards the United Nations Resolution on human rights in Chile in the light of the recent referendum in that country.

Mr. Rowlands

The Government cosponsored the resolution, which we consider an appropriate and necessary response to the grave abuses of human rights in Chile. Our attitude is in no way affected by the so-called referendum held in Chile in early January.
