HC Deb 19 December 1955 vol 547 c239W
65. Mr. K. Robinson

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs if he is aware of the inconvenience caused to British residents in Spain by the absence of a Spanish vice-consul at Gibraltar; and if he will make representations to the Spanish Government with a view to their re-opening the Consulate.

Mr. Turton

The absence of a Spanish Consulate causes inconvenience to residents and tourists in Gibraltar who wish to visit Spain but not to British residents in Spain. Her Majesty's Ambassador in Madrid recently raised this question with the Spanish authorities.
