To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is currently taking to make clear Her Majesty's Government's position to Indonesia in respect of its occupation of East Timor.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

The Indonesian authorities are well aware that we do not recognise their annexation of East Timor.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he is now in a position to make a further statement on the incident at Santa Cruz cemetery, Dili, East Timor, on 12 November.

We have condemned the killings in Dili. We will discuss with our EC partners what further action, if any, might be appropriate when the contents of the report of the Indonesian national commission of inquiry are known.
