HC Deb 25 June 1981 vol 7 cc147-8W
Mr. Flannery

asked the Lord Privy Seal if Her Majesty's ambassador in Caracas or the high commissioner in Georgetown have visited the disputed territories of Essequibo since the protocol of Port of Spain was signed; and, if so, when.

Mr. Ridley

Her Majesty's ambassador Caracas has not visited the disputed territories in the Essequibo region. We have been unable to ascertain whether any of his predecessors did so.

Successive high commissioners in Georgetown have regularly visited the Essequibo region.
