§ Mr. Nicholas Wintertonasked the Lord Privy Seal if he will make a statement outlining the latest discussions between officials of his Department and officials of the Foreign Office of Argentina regarding the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands.
§ Mr. RidleyI refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave him on 20 July.—[Vol. 9, c. 158.]
There have been no formal discussions between British and Argentine officials since the February ministerial talks, although in the course of the frequent contacts we have with the Argentine Government over the whole range of Anglo-Argentine relations, the subject of the Falkland Islands has been discussed informally.
