§ 35. Mr. George Jegerasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he will now consider imposing diplomatic and financial sanctions on Spain in response to the continued blockade of Gibraltar.
§ Mr. PadleyI deplore the continuation of the restrictions at the La Linea frontier and the recent Spanish announcement of a further restriction. But while talks in compliance with a United Nations Resolution are in train and while the Spanish Government are considering our proposal for a reference to the International Court of Justice, I do not think that measures of the kind suggested by my hon. Friend would be appropriate.
