§ Lord Brockwayasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will request the United Nations Security Council to consider the danger to peace in Central America arising from the civil war in El Salvador with intervention by other nations, the situation within Guatemala where a similar conflict with international repercussions is developing together with the threat of Guatemala to the independence and territorial integrity of Belize, and the fear of hostilities between Honduras and Nicaragua.
§ The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Lord Belstead)We continue to be concerned at developments in Central America, and discuss them regularly with our European Community partners and the United States Administration, but we see no advantage at present in raising the subject at the United Nations Security Council.
