asked the Prime Minister (1) pursuant to her answer of 24 January, Official Report, c. 277, what repair facilities at Port Stanley were requested by the crew of the Argentine air force Hercules aircraft which landed there after a distress call and was seen to be leaking fuel;(2) what steps were taken by the authorities at Port Stanley to satisfy themselves that the Argentine air force Hercules aircraft seen to be leaking fuel after it landed following a distress call was in a fit state to take off again;(3) what fire and other precautions were taken while the Argentine air force Hercules which made an emergency landing at Port Stanley on 12 March was on the runway there and was seen to be leaking fuel.

The Governor's report of the Hercules landing did not include these incidental details. I have asked the civil commissioner to look into the matters raised, and will write to the hon. Member when I have received his reply.
