§ Mr. George Cunninghamasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the British Government were informed by the Government of France of the supply of aircraft and missiles to Argentina.
§ Mr. HurdBefore the Falklands crisis there was no reason for the French Government to inform us of the supply of aircraft and missiles to Argentina. Since then we have been in close contact with the French authorities. Their co-operation, including an embargo on the supply of arms, ammunition and spare parts to Argentina has been most helpful.
