HC Deb 22 April 1980 vol 983 c101W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to ascertain the number of Iraq Ba'athist Party agents placed in British universities, particularly in Scotland and Wales; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brittan

The Government have made it clear that they will not tolerate acts of terrorism in this country from whatever source. The police will investigate any firm evidence of alleged threats to Iraqi students here. I understand that no substantive complaints or information tending to support such threats have been received. Anyone who has reason to believe himself threatened or has information to offer should contact the police immediately.
