HC Deb 31 October 1966 vol 735 c13W
Mr. Oakes

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what reply he has received from the Government of the Argentine Republic to the representations which he made concerning the illegal landing of an airliner on the racecourse of the Falkland Islands on 28th September, 1966.

Mr. Padley

Immediately after the landing, the Argentine Government made it clear, both in their public statements and in their communications to Her Majesty's Government, that they dissociated themselves from this act of piracy and intended to bring those responsible for it to justice. These people are now being held in close confinement in Tierra del Fuego under the orders of the Argentine Federal judge who is considering their case.
