HC Deb 22 November 1999 vol 339 c18W
Mr. Maples

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the Government's position on the FCO Policy Document 148, 1986, in relation to NATO intervention in Kosovo. [98534]

Mr. Vaz

FCO Policy Document No.148 was a paper prepared by the FCO Policy Planning staff in July 1984 as a basis for discussion. It was not a statement of government policy.

As we have stated on many occasions, we are clear that the NATO action in Kosovo was justified in the light of overwhelming humanitarian need.
