Brexit: Gibraltar

Debate between Lord Callanan and Baroness Harris of Richmond

Monday 29th January 2018 Lords Chamber

[Lord Callanan]

I will repeat what has been said in the discussions we have had many times on this: we share the position of the Labour Front Bench that we are leaving the single market and leaving the customs union.

[Baroness Harris of Richmond (LD)]

Will the Minister tell me of any discussions the Government have had with the Government of Spain about all the long queues that there still are on the border between Spain and Gibraltar?

[Lord Callanan]

We are clear that queues are, of course, unacceptable and extremely inconvenient for anybody seeking to pass either into or out of Gibraltar. We discuss these matters regularly in our excellent discussions with the Spanish Government.
