You're quite right, and neither is the Isle of Man. I don't know what
their status is but they do not return MPs to Westminster, which seems
to be required of constituent parts of the UK.

I don't think that is quite right.
Great Britain is defined as the United Kingdom *and* Northern
Ireland and NI do send MPs to Westminster.
