§ 64. Mr. Oakesasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what discussions he had with the Government of the Argentine Republic on Great Britain's sovereignty of the Falkland Islands; and whether the Argentine Government will now permit direct communication between the Argentine and the Falkland Islands.
§ Mr. M. StewartI did not discuss British sovereignty over the Falkland Islands with the Argentine Government; Her Majesty's Government do not consider that this is negotiable. I did, however, suggest that the Argentine Government should consider the removal of obstacles to free movement between Argentina and the Falkland Islands. We hope to discuss this subject again during further talks with Argentine officials.
