HC Deb 23 July 1984 vol 64 c535W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what results have been obtained from the joint service expedition to Brabant Island in the Palmer Archipelago; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Stanley

The expedition has undertaken geological and zoological work, and has discovered a previously unknown bay below Harvey heights. Six members have completed what is believed to be one of the longest journeys every undertaken in inflatable boats. In recognition of their achievements the expedition have already won a top international award for enterprise.
