HC Deb 18 May 1993 vol 225 cc102-3W
Mr. Cryer

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what ultimate responsibility is held by Her Majesty's Government for debts incurred by the Government of Gibraltar; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Garel-Jones

Under the constitution the Governor has responsibility to maintain the financial and economic stability of the territory. But it is the responsibility of the Government of Gibraltar to service its own debts.
