9th Oct 2024
To ask His Majesty's Government whether their policy in respect of the Falkland Islands continues to reflect the views and wishes of the islanders.

The Government is clear - it is only the people of the Falkland Islands who can decide their own future. The UK is steadfast in its support for the Falkland Islanders' right of self-determination, a right which is enshrined in the UN Charter and in article one of the two UN Covenants on human rights. The Falkland Islanders made their wishes clear in the 2013 referendum when 99.8 percent of voters chose to maintain their status as a self-governing UK Overseas Territory.
