HC Deb 14 January 1994 vol 235 c305W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he raised the case of the continued imprisonment of Mordechai Vanunu during his recent visit to Israel.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We have raised with the Israelis our concerns over humanitarian aspects of this case. The Israelis assured us in 1993 that the conditions under which Mr. Vanunu is detained have improved. We have no formal standing to intervene and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs did not therefore do so when he was in Israel earlier this month.
