HC Deb 03 July 1973 vol 859 c238
11. Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Minister of State for Defence whether he will strengthen the air defence system of Gibraltar.

Mr. Kershaw

No, Sir.

Mr. Janner

Do the Government assess the air defence needs of Gibraltar on the basis that the current disgraceful blockade is likely to continue, or that it is likely to come to an end in the foreseeable future?

Mr. Kershaw

We take the view that the air defence arrangements we have for Gibraltar are satisfactory.
