HC Deb 16 July 1987 vol 119 cc635-6W
Mr. Corbyn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement about the Government's policy towards the recent 18-point peace plan for El Salvador.

Mr. Eggar

Our policy in El Salvador is to support President Duarte's efforts to consolidate democratic institutions and the rule of law, and to end insurgency and terrorism. We welcome his efforts to promote regional reconciliation and were disappointed that the FMLN failed to attend the most recent meeting last September called by President Duarte for that purpose.
