Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Hoon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

As someone who has had the privilege of visiting the Falkland Islands on a number of occasions, I recognise the hon. Gentleman’s point. I hope that he will forgive me, but I have not read the early-day motion that he mentions. However, I can hazard a guess as to what it contains, and obviously I strongly support the continuation of the Falkland Islands as part of this country’s heritage. It is something that we maintained absolutely as a priority in government, and we will continue to do so.
