HC Deb 22 May 1986 vol 98 c305W
Mr. Park

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has received from British citizens concerning the supply of arms and funds to the Contras by the United States of America; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

We have received under 200 letters this year from right hon. and hon. Members, individuals and organisations about this matter. We have made clear in our replies that we support the Contadora initiative; do not believe that the problems of central America can be resolved by armed force; and that the United States Government are aware of our views.
