HC Deb 28 January 1985 vol 72 c40W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether, in their attitude towards representations from foreign Governments concerning events in the United Kingdom, Her Majesty's Government differentiate between the Government of the Irish Republic and other foreign Governments.

Mr. Renton

Our attitude towards such representations depends on their nature and our relations with the Governments concerned. We have close relations with the Government of the Republic of Ireland and are ready to listen to their views.
