Demonstrations In Gibraltar

EDM number 1022 in 2001-02, proposed by Andrew Rosindell on 18/03/2002.

That this House recognises the strength of feeling being demonstrated on the streets of Gibraltar in opposition to the statement of support for Anglo-Spanish negotiations at the recent Barcelona Summit; further deplores attempts to induce the people of Gibraltar to accept Spanish sovereignty with offers of European Union funding for infrastructure projects; commends the Chief minister, Peter Caruana, for rejecting such offers; and calls on the British Government, once again, to commit to recognising the wishes of the people of Gibraltar to remain British.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
