HC Deb 09 April 1963 vol 675 c142W
101. Mr. Hornby

asked the Lord Privy Seal what claims have recently been made by the Guatemalan Government to territory in British Honduras; and what answer has been given.

Mr. Heath

The most recent public reiteration of Guatemala's claim to British Honduras was made by the former Guatemalan President at the meeting of Central American Presidents with President Kennedy in March. My noble Friend the Minister of State subsequently re-affirmed to the Guatemalan Ambassador that Her Majesty's Government had no doubts as to their sovereignty over British Honduras and that the future of the territory must be worked out in agreement with the people of British Honduras.
