HC Deb 27 April 1987 vol 115 cc16-7W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, if he has received any assurances from the Government of Sri Lanka that the British citizens working for KMS are not employed in military operations.

Mr. Eggar

No. As I told the hon. member for West Bromwich, West (Miss Boothroyd) on 24 March, we understand that KMS employs British citizens under a private commercial contract with the Sri Lankan Government to training services to their security forces. We have emphased throughout to KMS and to the Sri Lankan Government alike our view that British subjects should not be engaged in military operations of any kind in Sri Lanka.
