HL Deb 28 November 1996 vol 576 c19WA
Lord Bethell

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they are satisfied with the current arrangements made by the Spanish authorities to control the frontier between Gibraltar and Spain and, if not, what representations they have made to the Spanish Government on this point.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The delays have improved recently but traffic is still not flowing freely. There are at times extended delays. This is unacceptable. We have taken this up vigorously with the Spanish authorities to remind them of their obligations. We will continue to do so.
