HC Deb 27 July 1964 vol 699 c220W
Mr. Warbey

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs at which points the frontiers of the territorial waters of the United Kingdom and France are now contiguous.

Mr. P. Thomas

The territorial waters of the United Kingdom are contiguous only with those of the Irish Republic, and with those of France at certain points at the Channel Islands. This position will not be affected by the new baselines to be drawn in conformity with the provisions of the 1958 Geneva Convention on the Territorial Sea.
