HC Deb 20 October 1976 vol 917 c479W
Mr. David James

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans for celebrating the Queen's Silver Jubilee are being made by the Governor and people of the Falkland Islands.

Mr. Rowlands

On the recent advice of the Executive Council to the Governor, the Queen's Silver Jubilee will be celebrated in the Falkland Islands during a week in June, probably from 5th to 11th. A number of suggestions are under consideration, but the final form of the celebrations, both in Stanley and on the farming settlements, will be decided by a widely representative committee of citizens and officials.
