HC Deb 25 November 1985 vol 87 cc416-7W
Mr. Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commowealth Affairs if he will make it his policy to remove any restrictions concerning British companies wishing to tender for oil exploration contracts in Argentina.

Mr. Eggar

We impose no restrictions on British companies wishing to tender for oil exploration contracts in Argentina. We have taken a number of measures aimed at a mutual lifting of restrictions affecting financial and commercial relations between the United Kingdom and Argentina. The Argentine Government have however reciprocated only partially.
