HC Deb 07 November 1966 vol 735 cc200-2W
47. Mr. Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, as a measure of retaliation against Spain for her restrictions upon Gibraltar, he will consider the limitation of flying rights of Spanish aircraft in the United Kingdom.

58. Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what counter-measures have been taken against Spain in the light of that country's policy towards British people in Gibraltar.

73. Mr. Raphael Tuck

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if, in view of recent Spanish action regarding Gibraltar, he will call in all British passports with a view to cancelling their validity for Spain.

Mr. George Brown

No measures of retaliation have been taken against Spain and it would not be helpful to do so at this stage.

68. Mr. Blaker

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what reply he has received from the Government of Spain to the proposal of Her Majesty's Government that the question of Gibraltar should be referred to the International Court of Justice.

Mr. George Brown

None.

76. Sir J. Langford-Holt

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he will give an assurance that he will not make any agreements with the Government of Spain nor act in accordance with any decision of the International Court concerning the sovereignty of Gibraltar which is contrary to the known wishes of the people of Gibraltar.

Mr. George Brown

I would refer the hon. Gentleman to my reply to my hon. and learned Friend the Member for Aberdeen, North (Mr. Hector Hughes).

Mr. Wall

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what action he is proposing to take to restore freedom of movement to Gibraltarians, subsequent to the Spanish Government's refusal to recognise British passports issued in Gibraltar.
