HC Deb 12 May 1993 vol 224 c505W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the Brazilian Government about their 1988 constitutional commitment to demarcate lands for their Indian population within a five-year period.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We are in regular touch with the Brazilian authorities about the rights of the indigenous peoples of Brazil. They are fully aware of our concern. In February this year, the Brazilian Minister of Justice publicly reconfirmed his intention to complete the demarcation of the lands of Brazil's indigenous peoples by October 1993 in compliance with Brazil's 1988 constitution.
