HC Deb 26 July 1968 vol 769 cc225-6W
Mr. Biggs-Davison

asked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs when he will lay the Order in Council declaring that Her Majesty's Government will never hand over the people of Gibraltar to another State against their freely and democratically expressed wishes.

Mr. George Thomson

The Order in Council will be made by Her Majesty in Council under the Royal Prerogative. It will therefore not be laid before Parliament.
