§ Sir Peter Blakerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations Her Majesty's Government have made to the Soviet authorities, under the Helsinki declaration of 1975, concerning the imprisonment in Kharkov of Ulyana Germanyuk.
§ Mr. RentonWe take every suitable opportunity to raise human rights issues with the Soviet authorities. I raised the plight of religious believers in my talks in Moscow in January. We shall continue to press for an end to the unjustifiable persecution of Soviet Christians, and for the release of those who are imprisoned.
