Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Spanish counterpart on the Arnaga declaration on the conflict in the Basque country; and if he will make a statement.
I have had no discussions with my Spanish counterpart on the Arnaga declaration that followed terrorist group ETA’s announcement of its dissolution. The British Government has however made clear that we stand united with Spain in the struggle against terrorism and remember, alongside the Spanish people, the many victims of ETA terrorism.
