To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the British possessions and dependencies which are subject to any form of territorial claim by other nations'
2. The PQ is unlikely to be reached for oral reply. Supplementaries are not therefore required. A reply is required by Parliamentary Unit by noon on Wednesday
