HC Deb 06 March 1990 vol 168 cc574-5W
Mr. Riddick

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will raise the question of the withdrawal of Russian military advisers from Angola with Russian Government representatives in London; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Waldegrave

We have discussed the presence of the Soviet military advisers in Angola with the Soviet Government on a number of occasions, most recently on 13 February in Moscow. Withdrawal of the advisers would promote the cause of peace in Angola.
