HC Deb 15 November 1979 vol 973 cc719-20W
Mr. Skinner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department which provisions of the three Channel Island Charters (a) Queen Elizabeth's Charter to Guernsey granted at Westminster 15 March 1559–60, (b) Queen Elizabeth's Charter to Jersey granted at Greenwich 27 June 1562 and (c) the Order in Council at Wesminster to inhabitants of Jersey and Guernsey 22 June 1565, still apply.

Mr. Whitelaw

All of them, so far as I am aware. The application of particular provisions to particular cases is a matter for the courts to determine.
