APPENDIX 5
Letter from the Foreign Secretary about
his written reply to MS Dari Taylor's written question on various
issues concerning Gibraltar in the European Union.
I would like to draw your attention to my written
reply of 19 April to Ms Dari Taylor MP's written question on various
issues concerning Gibraltar in the European Union[2].
My answer reported that, following extensive
consultation with the Government of Gibraltar and with their support,
and with the encouragement of our EU partners, Her Majesty's Government
had successfully concluded discussions with the Government of
Spain to resolve a number of Gibraltar-related questions within
the EU. As you know, these discussions have been continuing for
several months. My written answer, and the exchange of correspondence
and arrangements which have been placed in the Library of the
House, provide fuller detail on the matters covered by these discussions
(Gibraltar authorities, Gibraltar ID cards, police co-operation
and the UK's Schengen application). I enclose a copy of all the
documentation placed in the Library, together with my written
reply[3],
for the Committee's ease of reference.
I consider this a very good outcome, and I hope
that you will welcome it.
