Mr. Dalyell
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of French nuclear testing on the inhabitants of Pitcairn Island; and what her Majesty's Government's obligations to the Pitcairn Islanders. [36761]

Mr. David Davis
We remain committed to the protection of United Kingdom dependent territories. We do not believe that the French nuclear tests should cause any danger to the inhabitants of Pitcairn.
