§ Mr. FaberTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the status of the Falkland Islands is being considered as part of the Dependent Territories Review. [21202]
§ Mr. Tony LloydThe review of the Dependent Territories covers generic issues (such as nomenclature and constitutional status) relevant to all remaining DTs, including the Falkland Islands. Given the special factors which apply to the Falklands no individual review of their status is being carried out.
80WWe are committed to upholding the right of the Falkland Islanders to remain British. We have no doubts about British sovereignty over the Falkland Islands and do not regard that sovereignty as negotiable.
