HC Deb 24 October 1994 vol 248 c421W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Prime Minister what representations he made during his recent visit to Saudia Arabia about the Arab embargo on Israeli goods; and what was the reaction of the Government of Saudi Arabia.

The Prime Minister

During my visit to Saudi Arabia I made clear the importance we attach to a just and lasting settlement on all aspects of the peace process. The Gulf co-operation states have since announced that, for all practical purposes, the secondary and tertiary elements of the Arab boycott will no longer be applied. I welcome any moves towards the full lifting of the boycott.
