Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what information his Department holds on the number of foreign nationals who have been reported as missing from foreign-flagged fishing vessels in Falkland Islands waters in each of the last five years.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office does not hold this information. Such data is collected and is held by the Falkland Islands Government who have devolved responsibility for the Falkland Islands' fishing industry.

The honourable Member should contact the Department for Natural Resources within the Falkland Islands Government who can supply her with this information.
