HC Deb 23 January 1985 vol 71 cc443-4W
30. Mr. John Townend

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has yet reached a decision on possible future changes in the fishing limits round the Falklands.

Mr. Renton

There are no fishing controls around the Falkland Islands outside the three-mile limit. We are actively considering the possibility of establishing an exclusive fisheries limit, but no decisions have yet been reached.

Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the shortage of travelling teachers in the Falklands.

Mr. Renton

There is provision for five travelling teachers in the Falkland Islands Education Department establishment. One post became vacant on 9 January 1985 on completion of contract. The Falkland Islands authorities are in the process of recruiting a replacement.
