HC Deb 28 October 1988 vol 139 cc432-3W
Mr. Amess

To ask the Prime Minister whether she will make a statement on the current policy of Her Majesty's Government towards official contacts with the Palestine Liberation Organisation.

The Prime Minister

At official level contacts are kept with the PLO. Ministerial contact with the PLO will remain difficult until it unambiguously renounces the use of violence, accepts UN Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 and recognises Israel's right to a secure existence.
