OIL EXPLORATION IN FALKLAND ISLANDS WATERS

Early day motion 907, tabled 23 February 2010 by Nigel Evans (Conservative). Signed by 44 members.

That this House deprecates the behaviour of the Argentine government in seeking to frustrate the exploratory oil drilling taking place in Falkland Islands waters; supports the right of the Falkland Islands government to undertake such drilling in their own sovereign waters; and urges the UK Government to continue its denunciation of the Argentine government's position and to monitor the situation closely, ensuring the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands at all times.
