Vol. 376 No. 9

Written Answers. - Iranian Refugees in France.

43.

asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he intends to discuss with his French counterpart (a) the detention and impending expulsion of Iranian refugees from France and (b) provisions for the necessary protection of this group.

I do not propose to raise this matter with the French authorities. I may add that I understand that the persons in question are not being sent back to Iran and that the French Government has stated publicly that those expelled constituted "a serious and immediate threat to public order".
