Its defence is the responsibility of the United Kingdom. However, it is not actually part of the UK - but a possession of the British crown. Although it is not part of the European Union - it is treated as a member for the purposes of international trade.

No. Guernsey and Jersey are British Crown Dependencies which means that they are self-governing but the UK is responsible for their defance. They are also not part of the EU. However, the Channel Islands, of which they are both part of, have close ties with Britain and their citizens are sent to the UK if they need specialist hospital treatment.

This is incorrect. The Channel Islands are not governed by the U.K. parliament, and never have been. Instead, they are split into two self-governing territories (and have been self-governing since their  political split with mainland Normandy in 1204).
