Foreign Affairs Committee: UK/EU Treaty on Gibraltar

Committee hears from witnesses

The Foreign Affairs Committee is holding oral evidence hearings on a proposed UK/EU Treaty concerning Gibraltar. This involves examining the terms and implications of a diplomatic agreement between the UK and EU on Gibraltar's status and relationship with Spain, a sensitive issue touching on sovereignty, trade, and border arrangements post-Brexit.

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory with strategic importance at the entrance to the Mediterranean and a long-standing sovereignty dispute with Spain. A UK/EU treaty on Gibraltar could affect UK-EU relations, Gibraltar's economic future, and Anglo-Spanish relations, making it a matter of substantial diplomatic and geopolitical consequence. The committee's scrutiny will inform Parliament's understanding of the government's negotiating position and commitments.
