HC Deb 19 July 1990 vol 176 c680W
Mr. Marlow

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the extent to which Her Majesty's Government's policies with regard to Israel are influenced by the holocaust.

Mr. Waldegrave

We can never forget the suffering of the Jewish people in the holocaust. We want friendly relations with Israel and a just and lasting settlement of the middle east conflict to enable Israel to live in peace and security with its neighbours, including the Palestinians.
