Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 January 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Strategic Defence and Security Review.
Strategic Defence and Security Review
Does my hon. Friend recall that the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, referred recently to the Falkland Islands as ““the Malvinas””, therefore implicitly giving a nod in the direction of Argentina? My hon. Friend is right that we could in no shape or form depend on the Americans if there were any threat against the Falklands. Were they taken, without a carrier, we could never take them back.
