Mr Jonathan Brash (Hartlepool) (Lab)
The Minister is understandably burdened by the need to be diplomatic. Is the reality not that President Trump can review whatever position he likes, and the Argentinian Government can make whatever threats they like, but it does not make a jot of difference to this country, because the Falkland Islands will remain British?
Kirsty McNeill
I can confirm that the Falkland Islands will remain British because the right of the Falkland Islanders to self-determination is absolute.
