HC Deb 26 November 1991 vol 199 c460W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what steps he takes to ensure that residents of Gibraltar have their human rights protected under the European convention on human rights.

Mr. Garel-Jones

The European convention on human rights applies in full to Gibraltar and provides Gibraltarians with the right of individual petition in relation to the rights covered by the convention. Furthermore, Gibraltar's constitution contains a chapter setting out the fundamental rights and freedoms of Gibraltarians and provides for their enforcement through the courts.
