Select Committee on Foreign Affairs Written Evidence


EQUATORIAL GUINEA

Letter to the Parliamentary Relations and Devolution Department, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, from the Clerk of the Committee, 20 October 2004

  The Committee has noted press reports that "earlier this year two Spanish warships left the Nato naval base based near Cádiz. One of the frigates had on board 500 elite troops and the soldiers are reported to have been told they were heading for Equatorial Guinea." (Observer, 29 August 2004.)

  I would be grateful to receive the FCO's comments on this report.

Steve Priestley

Clerk of the Committee
