Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans his Department has to ensure a continued British military presence on the Falkland Islands.
This question was answered on 9th January 2015
The Government remains fully committed to the protection of the Falkland Islanders and is vigilant at all times. Our overall military posture in the South Atlantic is assessed as being appropriate and the Falkland Islands remain well-defended. However, we keep the situation under constant review, and as such contingency plans are in place to increase the military footprint in the South Atlantic, if required.
