HC Deb 19 May 1988 vol 133 c571W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will request the Government of the Philippines to supply a copy of the letter which that Government claim is a request from the British Broadcasting Corporation for an ambush to take place to publicise the activities of rebels in the area; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

This is a matter for the BBC, which has, I understand, denied allegations of involvement in the ambush. I see no grounds for British Government intervention.
