§ Mr. AustinTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to reopen the British Embassy in Sudan; and if he will make a statement. [55972]
§ Mr. FatchettWe did not break off diplomatic relations with Sudan when we withdrew UK based staff from Khartoum. We have also maintained contact with the Sudanese authorities through their Embassy here. I hope that it will not be too long before the necessary conditions are re-established for a return to normal relations with Sudan.
