HC Deb 05 March 1987 vol 111 c648W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards the sale of arms by British manufacturers to the Contra forces in Central America.

Mr. Eggar

Our policy is in line with our consistent support for a political solution to the problems of the region based on the Contadora objectives and our frequently stated view that these problems cannot be resolved by armed force.
