HC Deb 20 March 1985 vol 75 cc520-1W
3. Mr. Sheerman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions he has had with other European Economic Community countries about the Contadora process.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

I discuss the situation in central America regularly with my European colleagues.

Mr. Cartwright

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government towards the Contadora peace process; and if Her Majesty's Government are prepared to contribute to any peace-keeping force that might result from a peace agreement.

Mr. Luce

We and our European Community partners have given firm and consistent support to the efforts of the Contadora Group. We gave practical expression to this support by the meeting of European and regional Foreign Ministers at San Jose in September, attended by my right hon. and learned Friend. It is premature to speculate about our position before any agreement is reached.
