REVIEW OF POLICY ON ACCELERATED DECOLONISATION
1. Your minute of 9 January 1978.
2.
As far as Gibraltar is concerned the title of category 3(d) would be more relevant if it read:
"Those claimed by other powers. UK Government seeking to promote settlements consistent with the wishes of the inhabitants:-"
The Gibraltar entry could then read
"The only practicable decolonization option involves some form of association with Spain."
20.1.78.
