HC Deb 26 February 1973 vol 851 cc267-8W
Mr. Denzil Davies

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what were the reasons which caused the redesignation of Gibraltar for exchange control purposes as a sterling area country.

Mr. Nott

Gibraltar was re-included in the Scheduled Territories for exchange control purposes because of the unique circumstances of the territory, which acceded to the European Economic Communities together with the United Kingdom on 1st January 1973.
