HC Deb 07 April 1989 vol 150 c298W
Mr. John Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make representations to the Czechoslovakian Government with regard to the case of Vaclav Havel.

Mr. Waldegrave

We have made repeated representations to the Czechoslovak Government over Vaclav Havel, most recently on 23 February. I take this opportunity to reiterate that we deplore the treatment of Havel, who is a distinguished writer; such treatment is contrary to Czechoslovakia's commitments under the Vienna concluding document.
