§ Lord Jenkins of Putneyasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether, as they now recognise the military dictatorship in Chile, they will ask their representative what information they have about the British subject William Beausire.
§ Lord CarringtonWe have made regular representations to the Chilean Government about this case, most recently on 2nd June and on 5th October, but have been unable to obtain from them any information on what has happened to Mr. Beausire. Diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and the present Chilean Government have never been interrupted. The question of recognition does not arise.
