HC Deb 06 December 1995 vol 268 c252W
Mr. Stewart

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has received from the Government of Egypt concerning the activities of Islamic extremists based in London; and if he will make a statement. [3973]

Mr. Hanley

My right hon. and learned Friend the Foreign Secretary discussed this with the Egyptian Government during his visit to Cairo on 10 to 11 November. We are concerned at the unwelcome presence of foreign extremists in the United Kingdom who abuse our traditional freedoms. We are in close contact with a number of foreign Governments who share our concern. Any evidence of violations of UK law will be passed to the police for action.
