§ Mr. SternTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has made any representations to the Romanian Government on the subject of the alleged persecution of the Hungarian minority in Transylvania; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. MellorThe Romanian authorities are aware of the concern in the United Kingdom about human rights in Romania. We have raised these issues in ministerial contacts. In a speech at the CSCE follow-up meeting in Vienna on 15 April, I drew attention in particular to religious rights and those of national minorities in Romania. We hope that the Vienna meeting will result in improved respect for the rights of national minorities, in Romania as elsewhere.
