§ Q34. Mr. Grimondasked the Prime Minister if she will order an inquiry into the conduct of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in recent years and the sufficiency of the advice and information supplied to Ministers.
§ The Prime MinisterI do not think that so wide an inquiry would be appropriate. I believe, however, that there should be a review of the way in which the Government Departments concerned discharged their responsibilities in the period leading up to the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands. I am considering the form which this review might take, and I will make a statement to the House in due course.
