§ Dame Joan Vickersasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will give an assurance that his policy of promoting free movement between the Argentine and the Falkland Islands will be so administered as to prevent an influx from the mainland sufficient to alter the balance of views on the question of ceding the Falkland Islands to Argentina.
§ Mr. LuardMy right hon. Friend's statement in the House on 24th November on the forthcoming talks with the Argentine Government related to the question of free communications and movement. This is a separate question from that of immigration and residence on which I would refer the hon. Lady to my reply of 15th December.
I do not therefore think that the contingency which the hon. Lady has in mind arises from these talks.—[Vol. 792, c. 36–40 Vol. 793, c. 233.4.]
