HC Deb 27 January 1966 vol 723 c109W
Mr. Fisher

asked the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether any new restrictions have been imposed by Spain against Gibraltar since the position was last reported to the House of Commons.

Mrs. White

On the 4th November, 1965, the Spanish authorities forbade Spanish workmen working in Gibraltar to bring into Spain, through the Spanish customs posts at La Linea and Algeciras, merchandise of any kind, including tobacco, cigarettes or groceries. As from the 10th January the same workers were prohibited from crossing the frontier on motor cycles or bicycles.
