HC Deb 12 December 1990 vol 182 c422W
Mr. Soley

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has discussed the problem of anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union and east Europe with the Governments of those countries; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs discussed with Soviet Foreign Minister Shevardnadze the problem of anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union during his visit to Moscow in September. At the CSCE Paris summit in November, all participant states signed the charter of Paris for a new Europe which contained a statement of determination to combat anti-Semitism.
