§ Mr. SymsTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what advice on security measures he intends to give to British Scouts, Guides and leaders who are to attend the World Scout Jamboree in Chile starting on 20 December. [61880]
§ Mr. FatchettAs of 1 December 1998 we advise against all non-essential travel to Chile. Our advice is intended for all British nationals.
British nationals making essential visits to Chile for more than a brief period are advised to register at the British Embassy, Santiago (tel: 231 3737, fax: 2342566) on arrival.
British nationals in Chile should keep a low profile, avoid crowds, meetings, demonstrations and areas where the English-speaking community usually gather.
