asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what recent communications he has had with Argentina concerning the Falkland Islands.

Whilst we are not prepared to discuss the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, we have since the Falklands conflict taken a number of initiatives to achieve more normal bilateral relations with Argentina. For example, we have made plain to the Argentines our readiness to accept a suitably prepared visit by next of kin of Argentine service men buried there.
