HC Deb 11 November 1988 vol 140 cc333-4W
Mr. Wray

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when the British ambassador in Santiago last met the representatives of the Chilean democratic opposition Messrs. Aylwin, Lagos and Silva-Cimma.

Mr. Waldegrave

The British ambassador in Santiago is in regular touch with leading members of the Chilean democratic opposition. He also ensures that hon. Members of this House who visit Chile are given every opportunity to meet opposition leaders, many of whom have visited the United Kingdom in the last few years as guests of Her Majesty's Government. Sr. Ricardo Lagos, leader of the Partido Por la Demoracia (PPD), will visit the United Kingdom later this month at the invitation of Her Majesty's Government.
