SELF-DETERMINATION FOR A DISTINCT COLONY OF THE CROWN NORFOLK ISLAND

Early day motion 983, tabled 26 February 2018 by Angus MacNeil (Scottish National Party). Signed by 19 members.

That this House supports the right of self-determination of Norfolk Island, which was until recently a limited self-governing territory attached initially to the UK and then to Australia, but was always a distinct colony of the British crown; calls for the self-determination of Norfolk Island in line with the UN charter on decolonization to which Australia is a signatory and which the UK has enacted for the people of the British Overseas Territories; and deplores the attempts by Australia to re-colonise the people of Norfolk Island and obstruct them from achieving the internationally accepted process of self-determination.

Signatures by party: Scottish National Party 13, Plaid Cymru 3, Conservative 1, DUP 1, Labour 1.
