Question 132: To ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs if he will support the call by PDFORRA that all rights of association be afforded to the Portuguese Representative Association as is the case for armed forces members throughout Europe; if he will make representations to his Portuguese counterpart; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Issues relating to the Portuguese armed forces are an internal matter for the Portuguese Government. I understand, however, that Portuguese law provides for the right of association for the members of the armed forces though it also allows for restrictions upon that right.
