HC Deb 17 November 1982 vol 32 cc187-8W
Sir Geoffrey Johnson Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what criteria he follows in deciding whether to meet leaders of overseas terrorist organisations.

Mr. Rifkind

The United Kingdom condemns all acts of terrorism, and our support of action in international forums to prevent terrorism is well known. The case for meeting a particular overseas leader of such an organisation is judged on its merits and demerits.
