10 years ago, #FalklandIslanders were asked if we wished to retain our political status as UK Overseas Territory. 99.8% voted to remain part of the UK family & that feeling remains strong today #selfdetermination #ourvoiceourchoice #Falklands @FalklandsinUK @JamesCleverly

In 2013, the people of the Falkland Islands held an internationally observed referendum, in which 99.8% of voters, on a turnout of 92%, voted to remain a UK Overseas Territory. #Falklands #SelfDetermination

The Falkland Islands are British.
10 years ago, 99.8% of Falkland Islanders who voted said they wanted to stay a part of the UK family.
Our commitment to the Falklands is unwavering.

Shipwrecked!
Shipwrecks are prominent around the Falklands, leaving parts of our history to be passed through the waves.

It was an honour to represent @FalklandsGov at the funeral of Lady Hunt, wife of former Falkland Islands Governor Sir Rex Hunt. Islanders will be forever grateful for the significant contribution they both made to the Falkland Islands.

I am honoured to be part of the armed forces parliamentary scheme & earlier this month during recess, we went to the Falkland Islands.
It was a real privilege to see the highly professional work that our army, navy and air force are doing.
