Dear Olivier Dupuis,

Further to your letter of 3rd October 1996, as you know, I made representations to Malcolm Rifkind MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs,' regarding the establishment of an International Criminal Court at the United Nations. I have now received a response from the Foreign and Commonwealth office and I enclose a copy of the letter of reply for your information.

Yours sincerely

Bill Etherington MP
