Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to help ensure that holders of Gibraltar blue registration cards are not being denied entry into Spain.

We are aware of reports of Spain stopping some British nationals crossing the border from Gibraltar into Spain. The UK Government has raised this issue with Spanish authorities. We will continue to monitor the situation, and work with Spain to support British nationals wishing to cross the border, however the application of the Schengen Borders Code is ultimately a matter for Spain.
