Letter to the Chief Minister, Government
of Gibraltar, from the Chairman of the Committee, 16 September
2004
I enclose copies of a recent exchange of correspondence
between the Committee and the FCO, about the April 2000 arrangements
relating to Gibraltar authorities.
The Committee has now invited the FCO to provide
it with a more detailed explanation of the exchanges summarised
in the third paragraph of the letter of 7 September 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 that letter is,
or promises to be affected.
As well as seeking further clarification from
the FCO, the Committee would welcome your observations on this
issue, and how it affects Gibraltar.
A response by the end of October would be particularly
helpful.
Rt Hon Donald Anderson MP
Chairman of the Committee
16 September 2004
