HC Deb 28 October 1971 vol 823 c409W
Mr. Powell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state the territories outside Europe, with their respective populations, whose citizens have freedom of movement in the countries of the European Economic Community.

Mr. Carlisle

The effect of the free movement of labour provisions of the Treaty of Rome is limited to citizens of member countries of the European Economic Community. These include citizens in the four French Overseas Departments—Guadeloupe, Martinque, French Guiana and Reunion—with a total population of just over one million.

Association agreements with Greece and Turkey provide that nationals of those countries shall eventually have the benefit of the free movement of labour provisions; but Association agreements with countries outside Europe make no such provision.
