HC Deb 21 December 1982 vol 34 c449W
Mr. Mason

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many bodies of the Argentine forces have been discovered in the Falklands; what steps have been taken after identification to notify the Argentine Government; whether the War Graves Commission has now begun the operation of exhumation and reburial; where the official Argentine cemeteries are likely to be; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Wiggin

So far 214 Argentine bodies have been discovered on the Falkland Islands; in every case the International Committee of the Red Cross has been informed of the location and identification, if known, of the body; plans are now being drawn up as a matter of urgency to transfer the bodies to newly created cemeteries; there will be at least two such cemeteries, one at Port Stanley and one at Darwin. We attach a great deal of importance to making speedy but proper arrangements for the final burial of the Argentine dead: but should the Argentine Government wish to arrange for the repatriation of these bodies we shall give every assistance. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission is not directly involved in the exhumation and reburial, although it will provide advice on the layout of the new cemeteries.
