[holding answer 24 April 2007]: Our embassy in Bogota, when responding to the meeting request my hon. Friend refers to, explained to the community representatives that it would be more helpful to await the Colombian Government’s response before meeting with them. Foreign and Commonwealth Office officials subsequently met representatives of communities from the la Guajira province on 30 January in London. They raised the issue of forced displacement. Since then we have made enquiries with Cerrejon in London and Colombia. Our embassy in Bogota has raised the issue with the Government of Colombia Vice President’s Office.
