HC Deb 15 May 1978 vol 950 c67W
Mr. Luce

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs since what date he has been aware of the occupation of Southern Thule Island in the Falkland Dependencies by some 40 Argentinians.

Mr. Rowlands

We first knew of the Argentine presence on Thule island in December 1976 and protested at that time. We have recently verified renewed Argentine activity on the island and have made further protests. We are pursuing the matter.
