HC Deb 01 April 1996 vol 275 cc8-9W
Mr. Robert McCartney

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations have been made by United Kingdom diplomats in the United States of America on the New York Assembly Bill, Ref. A6510/S4880, amending the education law in relation to instruction on genocide and mass starvation in Ireland from 1845 to 1850; and if he will make a statement. [23222]

Mr. Rifkind

None. The consulate-general in New York, who is monitoring the legislation closely, believes that this Bill is unlikely to pass into law.
