§ Mr. Rowlandsasked the Lord Privy Seal whether he has been satisfied with the assurances given by the Salvadorean authorities regarding the safety and security of United Kingdom diplomatic staff in San Salvador; and whether, in the light of recent events, he will seek fresh assurances in this respect in order that United Kingdom staff may be able to fulfil their full diplomatic functions.
417W
§ Mr. RidleyThe Salvadorean Government have assured us that it is their constant preoccupation to guarantee the safety and security of United Kingdom diplomatic staff in San Salvador, but it is evident that, in the current situation, their ability to do so is strictly limited. Fresh assurances, under these circumstances, would be worthless.
