HC Deb 20 July 1984 vol 64 c357W
Mr. John David Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the period of time in practice that a British tourist has to be in Gibraltar before he can cross the border into Spain (a) at present and (b) in December 1983.

Mr. Whitney

At present Spaniards, British and Gibraltar residents on the Rock, Gibraltarians resident in Spain and their immediate relatives are allowed to cross the border on foot once a day. So far as we are aware it has not been Spanish practice to allow people outside these categories to cross either now or in December 1983. The border has, of course, always been fully open on the Gibraltar side.
