HC Deb 28 February 1986 vol 92 c700W
Mr. Bidwell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, when he meets the Syrian Foreign Affairs Minister in London, he will raise with him cases concerning political prisoners in Syria held without charge or trial.

Mr. Renton

My right hon. and learned Friend will have very much in mind when he sees Mr. Shara' the strong feelings in this country about human rights issues, including human rights in Syria, but he does not intend to raise specific cases unless there is a particular reason to do so.
