MR MICHAEL SHERSBY'S WRITTEN PQ FOR 12 FEBRUARY

1. Mr Shersby (Hillingdon, Uxbridge

K

Conservative) has asked the

Lord Privy Seal for the number of inhabitants in the Dependent

Territories and Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia.

2.

I attach a draft answer which has been cleared with WIAD, M&CD,

SED,

SAMD, EAD, SPD, and MOD in the case of the Sovereign Base Areas.

The Sovereign Base Areas are, in fact, dependent territories although

they are administered by the MOD.

3. Mr Shersby has asked a similar question about the Associated

States which is being answered by WIAD. He does not appear to have

asked earlier Questions about the Dependent Territories.

Mr Shersby's

two current questions are thought to be linked to the Nationality Bill.
