§ Mr. J. Biggs-Davisonasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs whether he will lay an Order in Council, similar to that which is to be made for Gibraltar, declaring that Her Majesty's Government will never hand over the people of the Falkland Islands to another state against their freely and democratically expressed wishes.
§ Mr. George ThomsonThere are no proposals for constitutional changes in the Falkland Islands which would necessitate the making of a new Order. H.M.G.'s policy concerning the Falkland Islands has been made clear in the House on a number of occasions and I would refer the hon. Member to the assurances given to the people of the Falkland Islands by my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary on 26th March.— [Vol. 761, c. 1458.]
