HC Deb 11 May 1982 vol 23 c246W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Defence whether the Argentine radio network on South Georgia was jammed by British forces during the attack on the island.

Mr. Blaker

It is not our practice to reveal operational details of this nature.

Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Defence at what time signal communication between Argentine forces on South Georgia and the Argentine was finally cut.

Mr. Blaker

We do not know whether communications between the Argentine forces on South Georgia and the Argentine ceased before the Argentine forces surrendered or continued up to the moment of surrender. They certainly ceased at the time of the surrender.
