HC Deb 01 November 1966 vol 735 c59W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies why, in view of the problems and difficulties connected with Gibraltar, he did not, during his overseas visits between 29th July and 3rd September, 1966, visit Gibraltar.

Mr. Stonehouse

A visit to Gibraltar could not have been fitted into my right hon. Friend's Pacific and Far Eastern tour. He had always intended to pay the visit now taking place in the early autumn, after the conclusion of the present round of talks with the Spaniards.
