§ 16. Mr. Doddsasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what progress has been made in the proposal to abolish visas between Spain and all British territories.
§ Mr. ProfumoWe have made proposals to the Spanish Government, who have not yet replied.
§ Mr. DoddsWill the Minister bear in mind that, in referring to all British territories in the Question, I include 390 Gibraltar? In view of the shabby way in which Spain has treated the Gibraltarians for years, can we have an assurance that in any settlement the Government will not leave out Gibraltar?
§ Mr. ProfumoI can assure the hon. Gentleman that there could be no question of our concluding a visa abolition agreement which does not also extend to any British Colony which wishes to be associated with it.
