Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Draft Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, published on 14 November, what steps they have taken to discuss with the Gibraltar authorities their representation on the proposed specialised committee on issues related to the protocol on Gibraltar under Article 165(e).
As the Prime Minister has said, we will always negotiate on behalf of the whole UK family, including Gibraltar, at the Joint Committee including any consultation as set out in Article 169. Decisions on representation to the specialised committees will be taken in accordance with Article 165(3) of the Withdrawal Agreement. As the Chief Minister of Gibraltar told the House of Lords EU Committee on 23rd October, the UK has worked “hand in glove” with Gibraltar to ensure the Prime Minister’s commitment to fully involve Gibraltar “became a reality”.
