§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he received a letter and petition about East Timor from the justice and peace group of St. Charles' church, Gosforth; and when he proposes to reply to it.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggWe have been unable to trace any letter from the justice and peace group of St. Charles' church. A petition with a large number of signatories from the Gosforth area was received in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on 20 May 1994. No reply was sent because in the absence of any covering letter it was unclear to whom it should be addressed. If the hon. Member would like to forward a copy of the justice and peace group's letter, I would be happy to reply.
