HC Deb 05 February 1993 vol 218 cc390-1W
Mrs. Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on Her Majesty's Government's policy on the appropriate steps that will be taken to ensure that Israel complies with United Nations Security Council resolution 799 on the Palestinian deportees.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We have repeatedly urged the Israeli Government to comply with Security Council resolution 799. Their decision to allow 100 of the deportees to return is a useful step in the right direction. We hope they will build on this. We are stressing to all concerned that the top priority is to resume the peace process.
