Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether he has met jointly with representatives of Gibraltar and Spain to discuss the negotiations on the UK leaving the EU.

We have not met jointly. We are committed to full engagement with the Government of Gibraltar through the Joint Ministerial Council (Gibraltar EU Negotiations) which has met three times including most recently on Monday 17 July. We have been clear in our conversations with Spain that Gibraltar is covered by our exit negotiations and we will have full regard for their interests.
