§ Lady Olga MaitlandTo ask the Prime Minister what representations he has received from the Malaysian authorities about trade relations between the United Kingdom and Malaysia. [18579]
§ The Prime MinisterI welcome Dr. Mahathir's positive remarks, during his recent visit to Britain, that Malaysia wants to continue building the strongest possible ties with Britain, and is putting behind her the two countries' recent trade problems. This was a constructive initiative. Britain has close and long-standing links with Malaysia. We look forward to working with Malaysia to develop these to their full potential in the future.
