§ Mr. Dubsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what statements have been made by the Government in the last three years concerning the activities of the Contras in Central America and their financing.
§ Mr. EggarWe have made it clear on many occasions, and most recently in my right hon. and learned Friend's reply to the hon. Member for Leeds, West (Mr. Meadowcroft) on 5 February at column 267, that we do not believe the problems of the region can be resolved by armed force. We support a negotiated settlement on the basis of the Contadora principles.
