Tuesday 14th March 2017 Ministerial Corrections

[Mike Penning]

Thirty-five years on, we not only continue but will enhance the protection of the Falkland Islands. I know that many colleagues from the House have visited the Falklands recently and seen the excellent work that our armed forces do far away from home. We will continue to support that with the Typhoons, the Rapier, and the other battalions that are there now. [Official Report, 13 March 2017, Vol. 623, c. 19.]
