HC Deb 27 February 1987 vol 111 c427W
Mr. Amess

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, following the release of 140 Soviet political prisoners, he will estimate the number of political and religious prisoners still held in the Soviet Union in prisons and labour camps.

Mrs. Chalker

A further 600–700 names are known. It is likely that there are many hundreds more of whom we have no record.
