I invite the hon. Member's attention to the reply given to the hon. Member for Haltemprice (Mr. Wall) on 28th October.

Mr. Taylor:

While the assurances given by the Secretary of State on that day have reassured Gibraltarians, would the hon. Lady not agree that the only acceptable long-term solution is the restoration of friendly relations with the Spanish authorities? What steps are the Government taking to achieve this?

The hon. Gentleman will appreciate that Questions relating to Spain should be addressed to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
