HL Deb 17 November 1998 vol 594 c151WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the British Embassy in Luanda is permitted to maintain contact with UNITA officials in Angola. [HL3900]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

Our embassy in Luanda may continue to have contacts with UNITA officials in areas of Angola to which State Administration has been extended. This is in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1173 (1998), which prohibits certain official contacts with UNITA.
