The East Londonderry MP asked: “What flexibility is there in our defence preparations for any potential hardening of attitude by Argentina, either unilaterally or with others?”
Mr Fallon replied: “We have a number of contingency plans, which we continue to refresh, to deal with any increase in the threat level.
“I am sure that the hon. Gentleman will understand that I am not able to spell them out to the House in public session, but I assure him that those contingency plans exist. We take them out every so often to ensure that they are appropriate to the existing level of threat.”
