§ 99. Mr. Donnerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs the contents of such notes as have been sent to the Argentine and to Chile regarding recent events in the Falkland Islands Dependencies; what replies have been received; what measures have so far been taken to evict the trespassers and with what success; and whether he will give an assurance that the establishment by foreign Powers of military or other bases in British Territory will not be tolerated.
Mr. McNeilI have arranged for the texts of the relevant official notes addressed to the Argentine and Chilean Governments, and of the replies received, to be placed in the Library of the House. No steps have so far been taken forcibly to evict the Argentine and Chilean trespassers from the Falkland Islands Dependencies. His Majesty's Government's attitude to this question has been outlined in the replies given to my hon. Friend the Member for Spen Valley (Mr. Sharp) on 16th364W February and to my hon. Friend the Member for King's Norton (Mr. Blackburn) on 25th February.
