UK conservatives urge Cameron to oppose further WB loans to Argentina

Cameron denied money from British taxpayers was spent on World Bank loans to Argentina.

United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron praised again today Malvinas islanders’ plan to hold a referendum over its sovereignty next year during a speech at the House of Commons in London today.

Cameron was asked by Conservative Member of Parliament Nigel Adams to remember “those who fell 30 years ago” to recapture the islands, “and to oppose any further World Bank loans to Argentina.”

“Argentina continues to dispute for the sovereignty over the islands and also continue to receive billions of pounds from the UK through the World Bank,” Woods said.

Cameron denied money from British taxpayers was spent on World Bank loans to Argentina as Adams suggested Cameron should follow United States President’s path and “instruct officials to vote against any further loans to Argentina.”

The prime minister rejoiced the latest news of a referendum over the sovereignty of the South Atlantic archipelago by saying the voting will send a “clear” message to Argentina.

“Argentina is continually trying to hide this argument. I hope they will speak loud and clear and Argentina will listen,” Cameron pointed out.

The Malvinas Islands government announced yesterday it will ask its 3,000 inhabitants whether they want to stay part of Britain's self-governing overseas territories in a referendum next year.
