The Falkland Islands Government has published the question to be put to islanders in a vote next year. They have asked islanders to comment on the suitability of the question before it is formally adopted.

The authorities in the Falklands hope the vote will send a firm message to Argentina that islanders want to remain British.

"Do you wish the Falkland Islands to retain their current political status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom?"

-------------
It will be the first referendum held on the islands, but in a poll in the mid-1980s, 94.5% of those who took part supported staying British.
