HC Deb 06 February 1995 vol 254 cc19-20W
Mrs. Clwyd

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what opinion of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in respect of land mines has been conveyed to him; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Goodlad

The Secretary-General of the United Nations has called for a complete ban on the use, production and transfer of anti-personnel land mines in his proposals for an agenda for development and an agency for peace which were published recently.

No detailed discussions of the Secretary-General's proposals have yet taken place at the United Nations.
