§ Mr Hoyleasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the continued use by Iraq of chemical weapons has been placed on the agenda for the forthcoming meeting of European Economic Community Foreign Ministers; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RentonNo. However, we take every suitable opportunity, both bilaterally and in concert with our EC partners, to express our concern to the Iraqis over their continued use of these abhorrent weapons, and to press for an early peaceful settlement to this tragic conflict.
