HC Deb 07 November 1986 vol 103 c647W
Mr. Best

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has on the burning by military personnel of Rodrigo Rojas and Carmen Gloria Quintana in Chile on 2 July; and if he will make representations to the Chilean ambassador.
