Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have held with the government of Gibraltar regarding the UK's plans to leave the EU; and whether they plan to have due regard to the views of the people of Gibraltar as expressed in the referendum.

The UK Government has made clear that it intends to fully involve Gibraltar as we prepare for exit from the EU, to ensure Gibraltar’s interests are properly taken into account. The first meeting of the UK-Gibraltar Ministerial Forum on EU Exit took place on 7 December 2016, with Department for Exiting the EU and Foreign and Commonwealth Office Ministers taking part alongside the Chief Minister of Gibraltar. This followed a meeting the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Exiting the EU (Mr Robin Walker) chaired with the Gibraltarian Chief Minister and business and union representatives on 1 November 2016. In addition, officials continue to be in frequent contact with their Gibraltarian counterparts. The Government is committed to continued close working with the Government of Gibraltar.
