§ Baroness Hooperasked Her Majesty's Government:
What is the position concerning self-determination in relation to Gibraltar. [HL754]
§ Baroness Symons of Vernham DeanWe support the right or principle of self-determination reflecting the wishes of the people concerned. It should be exercised in accordance with the other principles and rights in the UN Charter and with other treaty obligations. In Gibraltar's case that includes Article X of the Treaty of Utrecht. This has been the long-standing position of successive British Governments.
