Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how many times he has met the Chief Minister of Gibraltar since 23 June 2016.

The UK is committed to fully involving Gibraltar as we prepare for the UK's exit from the EU. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Mr Johnson) has met the Chief Minister, Fabian Picardo, twice since the referendum. Additionally, the Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Maidenhead (Mrs May), the Minister of State for Exiting the EU, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Haltemprice and Howden (Mr Davis) and the Minister of State for International Trade, my right hon. Friend the Member for Woodspring (Mr Fox), have all met the Chief Minister since 23 June, and I, as Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, have done so on three occasions.
