32. Mr. Flannery

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he has any plans to hold discussions with the Prime Minister of Argentina on the future of the Falkland Islands.

Mr. Eggar

I refer the hon. Member to the answer my right hon. Friend the Lord Privy Seal gave to the hon. Member for Linlithgow (Mr. Dalyell) on 3 December 1985.

54. Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs when he next intends to visit the Falkland Islands to discuss the future status of the islands.
