Lord Merrivale
asked Her Majesty's Government:Whether any progress has been made on the updating of the 1987 Gibraltar Airport Agreement mentioned by Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish on 16th June 1994 in a Written Answer (H.L. Deb., col.
WA 109), and, if none, what consideration is being given to the unanimous Motion of the House of Assembly on 9th February 1996 calling for its termination.
Baroness Chalker of Wallasey
The British Government's position on the 1987 Joint Declaration concerning Gibraltar Airport is unchanged. We believe an airport agreement would benefit Gibraltar, but we will not impose it. We believe a satisfactory solution can still be found and remain willing to work to that end.
