HC Deb 07 March 1994 vol 239 c20W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what inquiries Her Majesty's Government made of the Indonesian authorities in regard to the murder of British citizens Brian Peters and Malcolm Rennie, near Balibo on East Timor, on 16 October 1975, during the invasion of East Timor by Indonesian military forces.

Mr. Goodlad

We pressed the Indonesians for information at the time, as did the Australian Government, as Mr. Peters and Mr. Rennie were working in East Timor as part of an Australian television team.
