Letter to Richard Cook, Head, Parliamentary
Relations Team, Foreign and Commonwealth Office from the Second
Clerk of the Committee
Thank you for your letter of 25 April.
There were a number of questions which the Committee
did not have time to ask Ministers during their recent evidence
session on Overseas Territories. I have listed these questions
below. The Committee would be most grateful if the FCO could provide
a response to these questions by Friday 23 May.
GIBRALTAR
1. What did the pensions deal in the Cordoba
Agreement cost the UK? Was it a good settlement?
2. What is the UK's position on the immigration
arrangements that will apply at Gibraltar's new terminal?
OTHER OVERSEAS
TERRITORIES
3. Does the Government have any plans to
increase the funding available for environmental management in
the Overseas Territories?
4. Has Manfred Nowak, UN Special Rapporteur
on Torture, provided you with any evidence regarding allegations
that detainees may have been held on Diego Garcia between 2002
and 2003?
