HC Deb 10 December 1997 vol 302 c577W
Dr. Tonge

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to his Answer of 23 July 1997,Official Report, column 604, if his Department has (a) completed the study into the alleged use of United Kingdom supplied water-cannons in Indonesia in summer 1996 and (b) reached any conclusions.

Mr. Fatchett

One or more British water-cannon may well have been used in incidents at Bandung in June 1996, but the exact circumstances are not clear. The findings of our extensive enquiries into this and other incidents are inconclusive. But the Indonesians are well aware of our concerns.
