HC Deb 24 July 1985 vol 83 c594W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has held with other European Economic Community countries concerning a European military presence in Nicaragua; whether he would support such a presence; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Renton

None. The San Jose conference last September agreed on the need for adequate verification and control of a Contadora Act. This would require a peacekeeping force in the region but this matter has not been raised with us by the Central American participants.
