As I [Minister Trevelyan] stated in my answer of 16 December to PQ 106326 Norfolk Island has not been raised in recent discussions with the Australian Government. A search of available files finds no record of Norfolk Island being raised with the Australian Government. It is the longstanding position of HMG that the governance of Norfolk Island is a matter for Australia.
