Falkland Islands: Unexploded Ordnance
- Question
- What is the position on the removal of unexploded landmines and other ordnance still lying in the Falkland Islands following the 1982 conflict.
- Answer
-
My Lords, a joint UK-Argentina feasibility study into de-mining in the Falkland Islands was completed in October 2007. It concluded that clearance will be challenging but technically possible. The Government are now considering the options for clearance before deciding on next steps. Any clearance operation would remove all unexploded ordnance contained in mined areas.
