Question
Will the First Minister ensure that all Welsh Government ministers and officials do not refer to the Falkland Islands as Las Malvinas in all government business?
Answer
Answered by First Minister (Rhun ap Iorwerth)
The term Falkland Islands is the standard name used by the Government of the Falkland Islands, and in most English-language contexts. The Welsh Government has no plans to issue specific guidance to Ministers or officials on the use of the terms ‘Falkland Islands’ or ‘Las Malvinas’.
