§ Mr. CarringtonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about bilateral relations with Sudan.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggAs was announced at the FCO news conference earlier today, a new ambassador will arrive in the Republic of Sudan in March to take up his appointment following the official retirement date of the preceding ambassador, who was expelled at the end of 1993. Our bilateral concerns about the civil war, human rights, and the distribution of humanitarian relief supplies, can be better pursued with the Sudanese Government if we have an ambassador in Khartoum.
