I received correspondence in August 2009 outlining how the person mentioned by the Deputy escaped drowning in the El Indio caves during a tour of Cuba. On my instructions our Embassy in Mexico wrote to the Cuban Tourist Ministry in September 2009 to bring this person's incident to their attention and also to encourage the Cuban authorities to take measures to avoid repeat accidents. Unfortunately, to date, the Cuban authorities have not responded. I have asked that this matter be raised again with the Cuban authorities.
