Mr. Ray Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what information he has about the ships of the Argentine navy currently being deployed in the Falkland Islands area.

Mr. Blaker

I refer the hon. Member to the statement by my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister on 3 April.

Mr. Ray Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether he will make it his practice to sell no naval equipment to Argentina so long as that country disputes the right to self-determination of the Falkland Islanders.

Mr. Pattie

All defence sales business with Argentina has been suspended.
