lpv:spoken text	"I wish to refer to the disgraceful demonstration that took place in the Foreign Affairs Committee of this Parliament yesterday morning when the Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs was involved in discussions with us. A number of members of a Marxist-Leninist group tried to disrupt the meeting and threatened the Chairman. This was an abuse of this Parliament's proceedings, a gross discourtesy to a distinguished guest and an event that could have had very serious consequences. Mr President, will you please instruct the Quaestors to identify the culprits, to identify how they obtained access to the Parliament and ensure that they are banned from future access. Will you also take steps generally to tighten security in appropriate ways so that there could be no recurrence. It is sometimes difficult to get legitimate visitors and groups into this building but those with malign intentions seem to have no difficulty. We began this session by expressing our condolences for the latest victim of terrorism in Spain. It would seem that those responsible for the demonstration in the Foreign Affairs Committee may have connections with a Turkish terrorist group. I am sure that all in this House will join me in condemning all terrorism whatever its alleged motivation. In relation to Turkey, we are making many demands of the Turkish Government and people as they embark on the long road to accession to the European Union. At the same time, we expect that opposition groups in Turkey will resort exclusively to peaceful means. I shall be placing a declaration to this effect before the House and I trust all Members will give it their support. Mr President, I would be grateful if you would report back to the House on the points that I have raised."@en1
