HC Deb 16 December 1982 vol 34 c198W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Prime Minister whether Her Majesty's Government have made any representation to the United States of America about the lack of advance consultation about the content of President Reagan's speech to Brazil on 1 December calling for negotiations between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the Falkland Islands.

The Prime Minister

No. We would not expect to be consulted, especially since President Reagan's speech dealt primarily with international economic issues.

Mr. Dalyell

asked the Prime Minister, pursuant to her reply of 13 December, what progress has been made in the pursuit through diplomatic channels of the matter of President Reagan's speech of 1 December, calling for negotiations between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the Falklands.

The Prime Minister

Our views have been made clear to the American authorities.
