19. Mr. Moynihan

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he intends to discuss Afghanistan with the Soviet Foreign Minister on 14 and 15 July.

Mr. Eggar

My right hon. and learned Friend will be discussing a full range of arms control, regional, human rigts, and bilateral issues with Mr. Shevardnadze. He will certainly wish to raise with Mr. Shevardnadze the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.

57. Mr. Hayward

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has, during the British presidency of the European Community, to ensure continuing European recognition of, and help for, the Afghan people.

Mr. Eggar

During our presidency, we shall work to ensure that the plight of the Afghan people is not forgotten, nor their need for sustained humanitarian assistance.
