HC Deb 07 February 1990 vol 166 cc693-4W
51. Mr. Loyden

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent representations he has made about the fate of Terry Waite and other British hostages; and to whom.

Mr. Waldegrave

We have raised the matter with a wide range of Governments and organisations which might have influence on the hostage holders, but we do not make public confidential exchanges between Governments.
