HC Deb 09 December 1997 vol 302 c499W
Mr. Laurence Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will review the policy on voting rights of Gibraltarian citizens in European Parliament elections. [19272]

Mr. Doug Henderson

To include Gibraltarian citizens in European Parliament elections would require an amendment to annexe II to the EC's 1976 Act concerning the election of the representatives of the European Parliament. This would require the unanimous agreement of all Member States, and ratification by each Member State in accordance with their respective constitutional requirements. We keep policy under review in the light of those facts.
