HC Deb 10 May 1989 vol 152 cc460-1W
24. Mr. Rogers

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he is taking to improve relations between Britain and Argentina.

Mr. Eggar

Since the Falklands conflict in 1982 we have consistently striven to restore more normal relations with Argentina. To this end we have taken a number of important initiatives.

The Argentine response to all of these has been disappointing. Indeed Argentina has recently formalised discrimination against British exporters, and continues to refuse access to our ships and aircraft.

56. Mr. Norman Hogg

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the current state of relations between Britain and Argentina.

Mr. Eggar

Since the Falklands conflict in 1982 we have consistently striven to restore more normal relations with Argentina. To this end we have taken a number of important initiatives.

The Argentine response to all of these has been disappointing. Indeed Argentina has recently formulated discrimination against British exporters, and continues to refuse access to our ships and aircraft.

50. Mr. Haynes

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has any plans to visit Argentina.

Mr. Eggar

No.
