asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will place in the Library copies of all public speeches made since 3 May 1979 by British Ministers or officials in Argentina, including those made by the British ambassador and embassy staff.

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether the Israelis have given an undertaking not to supply further weapons to the Argentinians and from what effective date.

The Israelis have not given an undertaking in these terms, but having had careful inquiries made I am satisfied that we should have no serious cause for concern on this matter. We are of course continuing to follow up all reports of arms supplies to Argentina from any source.
