§ Mr. Doverasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what arrangements he intends to make to ensure that any rebuilding work required in the Falkland Islands and South Georgia is carried out as soon as possible.
§ Mr. OnslowRehabilitation work in the Falklands is being given the highest priority. There are many difficulties and it will take some time for life in the islands to be restored to normal. The military authorities in the Falklands are already undertaking emergency repair work to restore the island's essential services and to meet the immediate needs of the Falklands community. The Civil Commissioner and an advance party are on their way back to the Falklands. He and his staff will be making urgent recommendations for further action to complement the emergency work of the military authorities and on longer term reconstruction.
