HC Deb 11 April 1978 vol 947 cc361-2W
Mr. Stephen Ross

asked the Minister of Overseas Development whether the Falkland Islands Administration has made an application for a grant to purchase Dritton Norman Island's aircraft; and, if so, what response has been given.

Mrs. Hart

Yes. However, it was made before the Falkland Islands Government had received a detailed report, commissioned with their agreement, which deals with all the Islands' internal communications requirements, including the question of additional aircraft. I am now awaiting the Governor's considered comments on this report.
