Sir, – Can someone please enlighten me as to what exactly is made in the so-called occupied territories? It would also help to know the definition of occupied territories since it must be defined by time – who occupied what and at what time and why?

For example does “occupied” have a cut-off point in time? Is it 10 years, 100 years, 1,000 years?

This is important so we can include or exclude, in our definition, places like Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, etc. – Yours, etc,

PHILIP HANNIGAN,
