§ Mr. William Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Affairs what action he proposes to take following the recent resolution passed by the United Nations Fourth Committee on the status of Gibraltar.
§ Mr. George Thomas:In replying to the hon. Member for Brighton, Pavilion (Sir W. Teeling) on 5th December my right hon. Friend said that we expected to start discussions about the constitution early in the New Year. Lord Caradon described the resolution as disgraceful and it has no effect on our intention. More generally, as has been made clear on many occasions, we shall continue to support and sustain the people of Gibraltar as necessary.—[Vol. 755, c. 1119.]
