HC Deb 09 June 1982 vol 25 c140W
21. Mr. Eggar

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will take steps to improve relationships with Governments in Latin America.

Mr. Onslow

The Government have given high priority over the last three years to the development and expansion of relations with Latin America, which are of considerable importance to us. The current dispute with Argentina has inevitably created a number of difficulties in our dealings with other Latin American countries. We believe these are temporary and our efforts to restore and improve relations will be maintained and intensified.
