HC Deb 28 January 1987 vol 109 c282W
Mr. Burt

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will raise the case of Miss Elena Gurevich of Moscow with the Government of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Renton

We have made our view very clear to the Soviet authorities that they should respect the right to leave one's country. I raised this and other human rights issues with the Soviet Government during my talks in Moscow on 14 to 16 January.
