§ 45. Mrs. ClwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the implications for Her Majesty's Government's policy of recent developments in Kampuchea.
§ 71. Mr. SpearingTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement concerning the policy of Her Majesty's Government on the threat to peace and security in Kampuchea; and what initiatives he expects to take in either the Security Council of the United Nations or in any of its specialised agencies.
§ Mr. EggarWe wish to see Cambodia restored to its place as a free and neutral country. We support the work of those directly concerned to achieve this aim. Vietnam's illegal occupation remains a major obstacle. There have been a number of encouraging developments recently, both internal and external. More progress is needed before the United Nations Security Council can play a formal role. Some specialised United Nations agencies (for example UNBRO, WFP, UNICEF) are already doing useful work.
§ 54. Mr. MullinTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he last discussed the situation in Kampuchea with representatives of the Governments of(a) China, (b) the United States and (c) Thailand.
§ Mr. EggarMy right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State discussed Cambodia with his American and Chinese counterparts in the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in September 1988, and with the Thai Foreign Minister in August 1987. The Prime Minister discussed this subject with the Thai Prime Minister in August 1988 and my noble Friend, the Minister of State will raise it when he visits Bangkok later this month.
