§ Mr. Altonasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on British relations with the Honduran Government in the light of the involvement of Honduran troops in E1 Salvador.
§ Mr. OnslowWe understand that, in response to guerrilla operations in the border area between Honduras and El Salvador, Honduran troops have recently been deployed with the agreement of both Governments concerned on territory which is the subject of a dispute between Honduras and El Salvador. I see no reason why this should affect the friendly relations which Her Majesty's Government maintain with the Honduran Government.
