§ Mr. RosindellTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action the Government have taken in the European Court to address border queues between Spain and Gibraltar. [72861]
§ Peter HainNone. The Commission announced the conclusion of their investigation into the situation at the border on 19 March. A copy of their statement has been placed in the libraries of the House. The Spanish government also confirmed on 19 March that in response to requests made by the UK during the Brussels Process talks a new second channel would be opened. This became operational on 21 March. We continue to believe that dialogue is the best way of overcoming our differences with Spain over Gibraltar.
