47. Sir Knox Cunningham

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if he will make a statement on his visit to Gibraltar.

Mr. Frederick Lee

My discussions with the Governor, with Ministers and with many others in Gibraltar covered a wide range of subjects. I was deeply moved by the warmth of the welcome with which the Government and people of Gibraltar honoured me. I was glad to convey to them the wholehearted admiration of this House and of the Government and people of Britain for the courageous way in which, under the leadership of the Governor and their Chief Minister, they are withstanding the irksome and unworthy restrictions imposed by Spain.
