Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs what is the approximate per capita contribution of the citizens of the Falkland Islands to the United Kingdom defence costs.

Mr. Whitlock

The people of the Falkland Islands do not contribute directly to the defence costs of the United Kingdom, but the approximate per capita contribution by the people to maintain the Islands' Volunteer Defence Force is about 32s.
