We welcome the EU's announcement confirming agreement on the Gibraltar Treaty by the Committee of Permanent Representatives, which is an important milestone for the people and businesses of Gibraltar on the journey to full ratification.

As soon as possible after the EU has concluded its other internal processes, the final version of the Treaty will be laid in Parliament for scrutiny in accordance with the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010.

As I have stated in my previous answers to the Hon Member, I look forward to going over the detail of the treaty with her when the final text is brought before the House.
