§ Mr. Oakesasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what charges were brought against those Argentine nationals who were responsible for the illegal landing of an Argentine airliner on the racecourse of the Falkland Islands on 28th September, 1966.
§ Mr. StonehouseThe Argentine Government dissociated themselves from the incident immediately after it occurred and declared that those responsible would be brought to justice. In these circumstances no charges were brought against them in the Falkland Islands. I am informed that they are now in close confinement in Tierra del Fuego under the orders of the Argentine Federal Judge who is considering the case.
