HC Deb 24 June 1992 vol 210 cc211-2W
Mrs. Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on Her Majesty's Government's position in the European Community on human rights issues in East Timor.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We share the concerns expressed by the European Community about the human rights situation in East Timor. The United Kingdom, with Community partners, condemned the killings in Dili last year. We fully endorse the view—agreed by all Community countries—that our continuing concerns about the situation there should be conveyed directly to the Indonesians.
