HC Deb 29 April 1991 vol 190 c37W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what advice is being given to British travellers about travel to areas of Peru at risk from cholera.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

We advise travellers that there is a risk from cholera in the coastal and interior regions of Peru, particularly in the poorer townships where hygiene and sanitation standards are inadequate. Travellers should avoid food vendors and cheap restaurants, observe strict personal hygiene, ensure they are vaccinated against the disease and carry a valid vaccination certificate.
