HL Deb 15 November 2000 vol 619 c37WA
Lord Avebury

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they propose that an independent audit be conducted of United Nations' operations in West Papua leading up to the "Act of Free Choice" in 1969. [HL4479]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

No. We understand the Institute of Dutch History in the Hague is conducting an historical study in this area. We do not see the need at this time to duplicate their efforts by commissioning an additional independent audit.
