Business of the House

I hope that the Leader of the House has had time to read early-day motion 1637, which I tabled, regarding the Falkland Islands, following the hostile remarks of the President of Venezuela only a week ago. [That this House completely rejects the suggestion that the UK should hand over the Falkland Islands to Argentina made by Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, on 9th February; believes that all matters relating to the Falkland Islands, especially sovereignty, are issues concerning the Falkland Islanders and the British Government alone; notes the illegitimacy of the Argentine claim on the islands; and urges the Government to rally round these loyal subjects of the Crown whenever their sovereignty is questioned and to declare that the Union Jack will permanently fly above Port Stanley.] Will the Leader of the House find time for a debate in the House not only on the defence of the Falkland Islands, but on all British territories overseas?
