Mr. Amess

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make further representations to the Government of the USSR concerning the right of Soviet Jews to leave the USSR; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

We take every suitable opportunity to raise the problem of Jewish emigration with the Soviet authorities.

I intend to use my forthcoming visit to the Soviet Union to make further detailed representations about human rights questions including the plight of the refuseniks.
