Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports of a Spanish navy warship sailing near Gibraltar’s waters; and what action they are taking in response.
This question was answered on 19th December 2018
There was an incursion by a Spanish navy warship on 4 December into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW). As with all incursions, the Royal Navy challenged the vessel. When challenged, the Spanish navy vessel left BGTW. We have made a formal diplomatic protest to Spain regarding this incident, as we do with all such incursions into BGTW.
