HC Deb 02 December 1991 vol 200 c33W
Mr. Madden

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what information he has about British citizens fighting as mercenaries in any part of Croatia, Serbia or other parts of Yugoslavia; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We have seen press reports, and have some independent corroboration, that a small number of British citizens are fighting in Yugoslavia. We have also seen reports of the deaths of two British citizens, which British consular staff in Yugoslavia are investigat-ing. We deplore any foreign encouragement of this tragic conflict.
