HC Deb 11 June 1951 vol 488 cc161-2W
65. Mr. Donner

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, in view of the Argentinian rejection of His Majesty's Government's protest of 30th April against the establishment of two Argentinian bases at Punta Proa, Port Para- dine and at Margarita Bay, British Antarctica, what action His Majesty's Government now propose to take.

67. Mr. Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action he proposes taking following the Note from the Argentine Government of 7th June, which denies our ownership of the Falkland Islands and refers to our territories in the Antarctic as belonging to the Argentine.

Mr. Younger

His Majesty's Government do not accept the Argentine Government's contentions and have repeatedly made this clear to that Government. I have nothing further to add to the statements made on 23rd April and 30th May.
