HC Deb 13 March 1985 vol 75 cc162-3W
Mr. Caborn

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether South Africa is still being used as a staging post for personnel involved in the construction of the airport on the Falkland Islands.

Mr. Renton

The management of the Mount Pleasant project is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for the Environment. I understand that the contractors continue to use Cape Town as a staging post; this is a purely commercial arrangement.
