HC Deb 08 June 1988 vol 134 c606W
31. Mr. Tim Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has any plans to meet representatives of the Polish Solidarity movement; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellor

My right hon. and learned Friend has no plans at present to meet representatives of the Polish Solidarity movement. My right hon. Friend the Prime Minister hopes that circumstances will make it possible for her to visit Poland later this year. She would expect to meet Solidarity representatives then. We continue to urge on the Polish authorities the need to ensure freedom of association and individual liberties.
