HC Deb 16 February 1988 vol 127 c529W
Mr. Foulkes

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has about the supply of mercenaries by a United Kingdom-based company, KMS, to the Government of E1 Salvador; what action he proposes to take; what advice he will give them regarding danger of prosecution under the Foreign Enlistment Act should any fatalities arise from the actions of such United Kingdom personnel; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Mellor

We are aware of press reports about KMS involvement in E1 Salvador, but have received no evidence to confirm them. KMS is a commercial company which is not controlled by Her Majesty's Government.
