HC Deb 19 June 1986 vol 99 c614W
Mr. Campbell

asked the Prime Minister if she will list the occasions during each of the last seven years, when she has raised the case of Mr. Raoul Wallenberg with the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; what response has been received; if she has any plans to make further representations; and if she will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

The case of Raoul Wallenberg has been raised with the Soviet authorities on several occasions in recent years: by the then Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Edinburgh, Pentlands (Mr. Rifkind) with the Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister in 1983, 1984 and 1985, and by the British delegation to the Ottawa human rights meeting in May 1985. We will continue to assist the Swedish Government in any way which may be appropriate in their efforts to establish with greater clarity the fate of Mr. Wallenberg.
