Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress they have made on the Gibraltar dispute between the UK and the government of Spain since June 2016; and what assessment they have made of whether Gibraltar will be included in any transition period after the UK leaves the EU in March 2019.

Since June 2016, the British Government has engaged constructively with the Government of Gibraltar and our European partners, including Spain, to address the practical implications for Gibraltar arising from EU exit. As the Prime Minister reiterated in the House of Commons on 5 September, the Government is clear that Gibraltar is covered by the Withdrawal Agreement.
