HC Deb 01 November 1966 vol 735 c58W
77. Mr. Dodds-Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he will now discuss with the Gibraltar authorities the proposal that Gibraltar be given associate status with the United Kingdom, similar to that of the Isle of Man.

Mr. Stonehouse

It is the view of Her Majesty's Government, which is shared by the elected members of the Gibraltar Legislative Council, that a constitutional change of this sort is not at present desirable.
