HC Deb 20 May 1980 vol 985 c150W
Mr. Austin Mitchell

asked the Lord Privy Seal what contacts Her Majesty's Government have had at any level, within the past year, with representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organisation.

Mr. Hurd

We maintain occasional and informal contacts with representatives of the Palestine Liberation Organisation at official level in London and elsewhere, including Arab capitals and New York. These have continued during the past year. There have been no ministerial contacts other than an occasional encounter on social occasions.
