Clause 15
European Parliament (Representation) Bill
4:30 pm
Mr David Heath (Somerton and Frome, Liberal Democrat)
I shall be brief. I wanted to make two inquiries of the Minister about the entitlement to be registered.
First, there does not appear to be any provision in the Bill—in other words, in primary legislation—to avoid dual registration in Gibraltar and an electoral region of the United Kingdom. I am not sure whether that is intentional or whether it will be covered by regulation at a later date.
Secondly, what is the position of royal naval personnel who may from time to time be stationed in Gibraltar, either alongside or in the port?
