HC Deb 14 June 1989 vol 154 c466W
26. Mr. David Nicholson

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations have been made by Her Majesty's Government about the abuse of human rights in Romania; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

There has been no improvement in the Romanian Government's lamentable human rights practices. My right hon. and learned Friend raised this matter with the Romanian ambassador on 9 May.

The leader of our delegation to the Paris Conference on the human dimension of the CSCE drew attention to Romania's deplorable human rights record in his opening statement on 31 May.
