HC Deb 20 July 1979 vol 970 c835W
Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how British mini-tanks used by General Somoza reached Nicaragua; and if he will prevent further British arms from getting there.

Mr. Hayhoe

We have no firm proof whether, and if so how, any British armoured vehicles have reached Nicaragua. The United Kingdom has not supplied armoured vehicles or any other defence equipment to Nicaragua for some time and we have no plans to do so.
