HC Deb 16 December 1981 vol 15 c135W
34. Sir William van Straubenzee

asked the Lord Privy Seal whether he plans any further discussions with the Spanish Government over the future of Gibraltar.

Mr. Humphrey Atkins

I anticipate that Gibraltar will be one of the topics discussed when the Spanish Prime Minister visits London on 8 January for talks with my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister. Negotiation aimed at removing differences over Gibraltar will start when the agreement concluded in Lisbon in April 1980 is implemented.
