Dame Meg Hillier (Hackney South and Shoreditch) (Lab/Co-op)
Further to the points made by my hon. Friend the Member for Bournemouth East (Tom Hayes), it is important that we talk here and that we have diplomacy, but what practical actions are the Foreign Office and the Ministry of Defence taking to ensure that there is a review of physical defence and security, so that we send a clear message to the Argentinians that they can go no further—that the words are too much, but they should go no further?
Kirsty McNeill
We are confident that our defensive capabilities in the south Atlantic are equal to the task.
