HC Deb 01 June 1965 vol 713 cc194-5W
Q14. Mr. Crawshaw

asked the Prime Minister whether he is satisfied with the extent to which, under the Treaty of Utrecht, the inhabitants of Gibraltar have been able to exercise their rights of communications and access with the adjoining mainland; and if he will make a statement.

The Prime Minister

Communications with and access to Spain from Gibraltar do not depend upon the Treaty of Utrecht, but on normal international practice, with which the procedures recently imposed by Spain on the frontier are inconsistent. Her Majesty's Government have protested against these procedures and their policy is set out in the White Paper presented by my right hon. Friends on 5th April.
