HL Deb 10 April 1986 vol 473 cc406-7WA
Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is their policy towards Nicaragua, in light of President Reagan's recent actions and statements.

Lord Trefgarne

We believe that Nicaragua should negotiate seriously on the basis of the Contadora objectives and avoid actions such as the recent incursion into Honduras. We want Nicaragua to make progress towards genuine democracy and end its arms build-up and support for subversion of its neighbours.
