Gibraltar

Inquiry

As part of its ongoing interest in the UK Overseas Territories, the Committee is conducting a short inquiry into the FCO’s work on Gibraltar. The inquiry was prompted by border problems that caused a diplomatic row in 2013. The inquiry will examine the ongoing border and maritime issues, the current situation in Gibraltar, and the UK Government’s response.

The Committee held its annual evidence session on the Overseas Territories from Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister, Mark Simmonds MP, in December 2013. It visited Gibraltar in March 2014, where it took evidence from the Chief Minister, the Hon. Fabian Picardo. In April 2014, it held an evidence session on Gibraltar with the Minister for Europe, the Rt Hon. David Lidington MP.
