asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with his merican counterpart concerning United States involvement in Central America.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

We are in close and constant touch with the United States Government on matters of mutual interest which include Central America. Most recently I met Secretary of State Shultz in Washington on 21 February.

17. Mr. Tony Lloyd

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has made any recent representations to the United States Government in connection with Central America.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

We regularly discuss a range of issues, including Central America, with the United States Government at a number of levels. They are fully aware of our views about the region.

52. Mr. Temple-Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the situation in Central America.

66. Mr. Alton

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards the recent Nicaraguan Government initiative to improve their relations with the United States of America.

Mr. Rifkind

We wish to see an early and comprehensive negotiated settlement of the current tensions in the region. We and our European Community partners have accordingly given firm and consistent support to the efforts of the Contadora Group. We gave practical expression to this support at the meeting of European and regional Foreign Ministers at San Jose in September, attended by my right hon. and learned Friend.
