HC Deb 22 November 1990 vol 181 c200W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Government of Romania concerning claims that political prisoners, confined to mental institutions by the late President Ceausescu, have not yet been released.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We are aware of a recent television report to this effect, but the British embassy in Bucharest has not been able to provide further information. If the hon. Member will share with us any evidence he may have, we shall consider it with a view to taking up the matter with the Romanian authorities.
