HC Deb 09 March 1983 vol 38 cc427-8W
14. Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, further to the reply to the hon. Member for Northampton, North on 11 February, Official Report, c. 479, what progress has been made towards the release of prisoners held by Israel without legal reason.

Mr. Hurd

Small numbers of prisoners have been released by Israel recently. We hope that all prisoners held as a result of the recent conflict in Lebanon will be released as soon as possible.
