HC Deb 19 March 1984 vol 56 c342W
Mr. Proctor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to the United Nations with regard to the recruitment of mercenaries.

Mr. Whitney

None. The United Kingdom has, however, played a full part in the work of the United Nations ad hoc committee set up to draft an international convention against the recruitment, use, financing, and training of mercenaries. The committee's reports are available in the Library of the House. Its next session will be in August.
