Mr. Flynn
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards the 1989 United Nations convention on mercenaries.
Mr. Lennox-Boyd
The convention against the recruitment, use, financing and training of mercenaries was agreed in December 1989 by the General Assembly. We are examining it carefully against the background of current United Kingdom legislation. We hope to come to a decision soon.
