To ask the Prime Minister if she will raise at the next meeting of the European Council the implications for immigration policy of European directives which permit citizens of the overseas territories of European Economic Community nations to settle in the European Economic Community.

The Prime Minister

No. The question of who are to be regarded as its nationals for the purposes of enjoyment of the rights of free movement given in the treaty of Rome, by reason of a connection either with its metropolitan or its overseas territories, is determined by each member of state in accordance with its nationality law.
