Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence (1) on what date he learned that the Argentine corvettes "Drummond" and "Granville" were on their way from Argentine ports to support the Argentine ship "Bahia Paraiso" anchored off South Georgia;

(2) on what date Her Majesty's Government first learned that the Argentine Navy had cancelled all leave in March;

(3) what reports were received by Her Majesty's Government about the landing of Argentine air force aircraft in Port Stanley in the second week of March..

Mr. Blaker

These questions relate to matters which are currently under review by the Committee of Privy Councillors set up, with the approval of the House, to review the way in which the responsibilities of Government were discharged in the period leading up to the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands on 2 April 1982. The House will have the opportunity to examine these matters further when the Committee's report has been published.
