HC Deb 29 June 1984 vol 62 c556W
Mr. Nellist

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations his Department has made to the Sri Lankan Government in the past three months on the questions of human and democratic rights in Sri Lanka.

Mr. Whitney

We have expressed our hope to President Jayewardene on a number of occasions, most recently during his private visit to London this week, that the inter-communal problem can be solved peacefully and democratically so as to safeguard the rights of all Sri Lankan citizens.
