(asked on 7th July 2015) - View Source
Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what representations he has made to the Spanish Government on the most recent incursion into Gibraltar waters by a Spanish vessel.
This question was answered on 15th July 2015
The unlawful incursion by a Spanish State research vessel into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters on 3 July - during which its probe struck a Royal Navy vessel - was unacceptable. We protested immediately to the Spanish government at a senior level. It is fortunate that no-one was hurt and no serious damage was done.
