HC Deb 19 May 1986 vol 98 c19W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether any action was taken or representations made by Her Majesty's Government following the suspension of guarantees of freedom of expression in El Salvador on 18 April; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

No, but we are monitoring the situation closely.

Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent discussions have been held with El Salvador concerning the offer to train officers from El Salvador in the United Kingdom; when he expects such training to begin; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

There have been no substantive discussions recently with the Salvadorean Government on this matter. The first officer cadet is expected to start an eight-month training course at Sandhurst in January after a language course.
