HC Deb 25 May 2004 vol 421 c1577W
Peter Bottomley

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the Government's policy on(a) Tibetan autonomy, (b) the level of recognition of Chinese suzerainty over Tibet and (c) the Tibetan people's right to independence. [175498]
