Reference

Mr Attewell

FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE : REPORT ON CENTRAL AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN

1. Your minute of 20 December refers.

2.

3.

I attach draft replies to recommendations 283, 284 and 285.

I have the following comments on the draft replies:

a)

283.

b)

284

Para 159 of the report makes it clear that this recommendation refers to internal as well as external security. I have, therefore, drafted on internal security. As I will be away from the office for the next month, perhaps Defence Department will let you have their contribution direct?

If a dependency, eg the Caymans, produces and pays for its own development plan, we could not insist on publication. The reply has been drafted with this in mind.
