HC Deb 27 October 1980 vol 991 c95W
Mr. Faulds

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he will now suspend arms sales to Chile, in view of the recurrence of the abuse of human rights inflicted on a British subject, Miss Claire Wilson.

Mr. Ridley:

No. The decision to lift the embargo on arms sales to Chile was taken after long and careful consideration. It does no more than bring us into line with the policies of our major European partners.
