The Palestine Liberation Organization will have to demonstrate that it is the sole representative of the Palestinian people before Britain accepts it as such, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher told the House of Commons Tuesday.

The prime minister, who meets here Wednesday with Israeli Foreign Minister Moshe Arens, said the issue had to be addressed before negotiations can take place.

“The important thing is to concentrate on getting talks started,” Thatcher stressed.
