HC Deb 28 June 1978 vol 952 c558W
41. Mr. Ogden

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action he has taken, is taking, and proposes to take to protect British oil interests in the South Atlantic, especially in the area around the Falkland Islands and their dependencies.

Mr. Rowlands

The question of British and Falklands interests in the potential but as yet unproven hydrocarbon resources in these areas forms an integral part of our current negotiations with Argentina.
