asked the secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if and when he intends to declare, on behalf of the people of the Falkland Islands, a 200-mile wide exclusive territorial zone around their coastline.

The Government do not regard the establishment of exclusive economic zones as permissible under present international law.

asked the secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the Government, in their discussions with the Argentine Government about the Falkland Islands, have taken into account allegations of torture and police terror that have been made by the Argentine Commission for Human Rights, including the statement that the Argentine police are more efficacious than the Chilean secret police.

Her Majesty's Government continue to be deeply concerned about abuses of human rights wherever they occur and have stressed their concern to the Government of Argentina.
