HL Deb 18 May 1993 vol 545 c86WA
Lord Molloy

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What recent action they and the United Nations have taken to secure the release of Kuwaiti prisoners from the Gulf War held in Iraq.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

We raised this question on 29th March at the UN Security Council review of sanctions. We will continue to raise it at each review of sanctions until Iraq fulfils all its obligations under UN Security Council Resolutions 686 and 687 to co-operate with the International Committee of the Red Cross in its attempts to gather information on Kuwaiti and other nationals missing in Iraq.
