HC Deb 23 April 1980 vol 983 c178W
Mr. Russell Johnston

asked the Lord Privy Seal what representations he has made to the Government of Iran concerning the situation of Captain Michael Green and Chief Engineer Martin Hanmore.

Mr. Hurd

Representations about the detention of these two men were made on several occasions. We are urgently seeking to clarify their present position, about which there have been conflicting reports, and to secure their safe departure from Iran.
