HC Deb 04 May 1988 vol 132 c462W
24. Mr. Anthony Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has received regarding human rights in Poland.

Mr. Mellor

My colleagues and I have received many representations on this subject. The concern expressed in all parts of the House about human rights in Poland is fully reflected in representations we made to the Polish authorities, sometimes with our Community partners. During the visit of the Polish Foreign Minister last December, for instance, my right hon. and learned Friend made it clear that we hoped all forms of harassment of Solidarity supporters would cease.
