HC Deb 26 November 1980 vol 994 c98W
Mr. Lawrence

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will raise at the Madrid conference on the Helsinki agreements the case of Dr. Victor Brailovsky, who was arrested on 13 November, in view of the repeated refusal of the Soviet authorities to allow Dr. Brailovsky to emigrate, in contravention of the Helsinki agreements and the United Nations Human Rights Charter.

Mr. Luce

The British delegation to the CSCE review conference has already raised the case of Dr. Brailovsky in the context of the debate on the provision of the Helsinki Final Act concerning the right of individuals to the freedom of travel and emigration.
