Lord Jenkins of Putney

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have supported, or have knowledge of, the activities of the security organisation KMS and, if they have supported KMS, in what countries they have done so.

The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Young)

KMS Ltd. was employed by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on a number of occasions between 1975 and 1982 to provide personal and building protection at Her Majesty's Missions in Buenos Aires, Beirut, Bangkok, The Hague, Kampala, San Salvador and Montevideo. We know of no government contract with KMS Ltd. since 1982.

We understand that KMS have been employed in various other countries since then.
