HC Deb 27 November 1980 vol 994 c146W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether it is the policy of Her Majesty's Government that the United Kingdom will in no foreseeable circumstances relinquish full sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.

Sir Ian Gilmour

It remains our intention to seek a solution to the sovereignty dispute which is acceptable to all parties. We have made it clear that any proposals for a settlement would have to be acceptable to the islanders and would be laid before the House.
