HC Deb 23 October 1967 vol 751 c361W
54. Sir F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in the light of the Gibraltar referendum result, he will now withdraw Great Britain's offer to refer the question of the future sovereignty of the Rock and its people to the International Court.

Mr. William Rodgers

My right hon. Friend intends to keep the offer open since he believes that it would be to our advantage and that of the Gibraltarians to have all these legal issues pronounced upon in the appropriate international forum.
