Letter to the Parliamentary Relations
and Devolution Department, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, from
the Clerk of the Committee, 16 September 2004
Thank you for your letter of 7 September, about
the April 2000 arrangements relating to Gibraltar authorities.
The Committee has asked me to request a more
detailed explanation of the exchanges summarised in the third
paragraph of your letter and of the reasons given to the British
Government by the Governments of Spain and Gibraltar for their
refusal to accept application of the arrangements in this case.
The Committee is similarly interested in learning
exactly how each of the other dossiers listed in your letter is,
or promises to be, affected.
We are also asking the Government of Gibraltar
to send us their observations.
A response by the end of October would be particularly
helpful.
Steve Priestley
