HC Deb 22 January 1988 vol 125 c878W
Mr. Lawrence

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will now instruct Her Majesty's ambassador to the United Nations to vote against the resolution which demands that Israel desists from the removal from camps and the resettlement of Palestinian refugees in the Gaza strip.

Mr. Mellor

No. Israeli policy in the occupied territories has involved unacceptable pressure on Palestinian refugees to move against their will, and the forced demolition of their shelters. We and the overwhelming majority of the international community oppose this.
