§ Mr. Foulkesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the implications for the future of consular relations between the United Kingdom and Guatemala of the recent elections in Guatemala.
§ Mr. RifkindThe elections are not yet complete: there will be a second round between the two leading candidates on 8 December. We hope the election of a democratic Government in Guatemala will facilitate a resumption of consular relations for which we have always been ready.
