§ 15. Mr. Garro Jonesasked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government have now arrived at a definition of British territorial waters off Gibraltar, and whether he will communicate that definition to the House?
§ Mr. ButlerThe position of His Majesty's Government in this matter has undergone no change, and the second part of the question does not, therefore, arise.
§ Mr. Garro JonesIs it not the case that territorial waters at Gibraltar have never been defined, if so, what advantage is it that the attitude of His Majesty's Government has undergone no change? Is it not desirable that the attitude of the Government should be clarified and should undergo the change of defining these territorial waters?
§ Mr. ButlerThe question raises a good many considerations, and perhaps the hon. Member will discuss the matter with me.
