§ Lord Kennetasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether the text purporting to be a draft for the fleshing out of Chapter 7 of the Rambouillet text, published recently by Le Monde was accurately reported. [HL2441]
§ Baroness Symons of Vernham DeanThe extracts from Articles 6a, 6b and 8 of the draft Status of Forces which is Appendix B of the Rambouillet Accords published byLe Monde on 2–3 May are accurate but have been taken out of context. However, the commentary is FRY propaganda designed to justify President Milosevic's refusal to accept a political settlement at Rambouillet.
