An Argentinian government minister has resigned after an encyclopaedia in which the Falkland Islands were called by their British name instead of the Spanish 'Las Malvinas' was sent to hundreds of schools.

Marta Torino quit as an education minister after the error provoked a wave of protests.

Feelings still run high over the Falklands

Publishers were paid £1million to print thousands of copies of the encylopaedia for children.

But instead of calling the islands Las Malvinas – the name Argentina insists on using despite losing the war – a map depicted the territory as the Falkland Islands and put the initials GB in brackets alongside.

The publishers have printed thousands of clarification slips, but critics want the entire encyclopaedia replaced with a version showing the islands under Argentine sovereignty.
