HC Deb 04 May 1988 vol 132 c472W
86. Mr. Wilson

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards a settlement of the conflict in Nicaragua.

Mr. Eggar

We have consistently advocated a peaceful negotiated solution to the region's problems. Together with our European partners we warmly welcomed both the Guatemala peace agreement and the 60-day cease-fire agreement signed by the Government of Nicaragua and the Contras at Sapoa on 23 March. We hope negotiations for a definitive cease-fire now under way will lead to peace and reconciliation within a pluralistic democracy in Nicaragua.
