HC Deb 08 February 1989 vol 146 c742W
Mr. Fraser

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Government of Indonesia about the human rights of those living in East Timor.

Mr. Eggar

With our European partners, we have regularly conveyed to the Indonesian Government our views on the importance of respecting human rights and expressed our concern, on humanitarian grounds, in individual cases. There is evidence that respect for human rights in East Timor has improved in recent years.
