HL Deb 01 February 1988 vol 492 cc981-2WA
Lord Burton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will make representations to the Cuban Government concerning the reported increase in the numbers of their fighting men in Angola in recent weeks.

The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Lord Glenarthur)

The Cuban Government are well aware of our view that the withdrawal of all foreign troops (Cuban from Angola and South African from Angola and Namibia) would create the best conditions for lasting peaceful settlement in the region.
