HC Deb 22 July 1991 vol 195 c336W
Dr. Marek

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to his answer of 8 July,Official Report, column 294, what are the reasons for Gibraltar airport not benefiting from the European Community liberalisation packages until the Gibraltar airport agreement is implemented.

Mr. McLoughlin

The Community noted that arrangements concerning the use of Gibraltar airport had yet to come into effect and decided that the liberalisation measures should not apply to Gibraltar until the Gibraltar airport agreement, relating to such arrangements, had been implemented. This temporary suspension will be lifted as soon as the agreement is implemented.
