Proceeding contribution from Nicholas Winterton (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence.


Defence

My hon. Friend is ranging far and wide, and I commend what he is saying and find no reason to disagree with any of it. Will he perhaps mention a subject that has not been fully mentioned in the debate—the defence of the Falkland Islands? There is increased tension in the south Atlantic, and it is important that the sovereignty of those islands and the principle of self-determination are maintained.
