HC Deb 04 November 1998 vol 318 c602W
Mr. Randall

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make representations to the Government of Chile calling on it to ensure the safety of all British scouts attending the World Jamboree of Scouts to be held in Chile in December. [58073]

Mr. Fatchett

Our Embassy in Santiago has repeatedly made it clear to the Chilean authorities that it is their responsibility to ensure the safety of all British nationals and British interests in the country. The Embassy will continue to do so as appropriate. The present advice against all non-essential travel to Chile stands.
