HC Deb 17 December 1997 vol 303 c182W
Dr. Marek

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what contingency plans he has in place for dependent territories in the Caribbean in the eventuality of other volcanic eruptions. [21041]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

[holding answer 16 December 1997]All the Caribbean Dependent Territories have an office of disaster preparedness and disaster contingency plans which are regularly reviewed. These plans take account of the hazards posed by flooding and their principal causes: hurricanes or tsunamis set up by submarine volcanic activity, such a san eruption by the volcano Kick 'Em Jenny, located off Grenada.
