HL Deb 24 June 1998 vol 591 cc29-30WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What was the role of the United States Administration or forces during the recent events in Sierra Leone; and whether the Government's enquiry will cover United States relations with Messrs. Sandline. [HL2296]

Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean

It is not for Her Majesty's Government to comment on the role of the United States Administration or forces in relation to Sierra Leone.

Sir Thomas Legg KCB QC is investigating allegations of British Government involvement with the supply of arms to Sierra Leone by UK citizens and firms.
