HC Deb 14 February 1984 vol 54 c130W
Mr. John David Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list those territories of the European Community other than Gibraltar which have no representation in the European Assembly.

Mr. Rifkind

There are none. The European territories of other member states are an integral part of those member states and take part in both national elections and elections to the European Parliament. Gibraltar, as a dependent territory, is not an integral part of the United Kingdom and therefore participates in neither national nor European elections.
