HL Deb 24 February 1997 vol 578 c73WA
Lord Judd

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the outcome of their investigation into whether the Indonesian Government have broken undertakings given to the United Kingdom by allowing British manufactured water cannon to be used to crush peaceful dissent.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

Water cannon do not fall into the category of equipment for which we have sought assurances from the Indonesian government. Nonetheless we have ensured that they are aware of our concern that UK-supplied water cannon should not be used to disperse peaceful demonstrations. We continue to investigate reports of an incident in Bandung in June 1996.
