Q8.

asked the Prime Minister if she will seek to establish an inquiry under the Tribunals of Inquiry (Evidence) Act 1921 into the circumstances surrounding the sinking of the "General Belgrano" and into related events from 30 April to 4 May.

asked the Prime Minister if, once the Committee of Privy Councillors chaired by Lord Franks has reported, she will review the policy of Her Majesty's Government not to answer further parliamentary questions on the sinking of the "General Belgrano".

I have nothing to add to the replies I have already given to the hon. Member on the sinking of the "General Belgrano". The sinking was not examined by the Falkland Islands review since this covered events leading up to the invasion of the Falkland Islands.
