More 'No Deal' talks

Senior officials of the Gibraltar and United Kingdom Governments continued their positive engagement on planning for a no deal Brexit this week. A day-long meeting in Gibraltar centred on citizen’s rights and migration issues including the border.

The officials were joined by the Deputy Chief Minister Dr Joseph Garcia for part of the meeting.

The Government repeats its reminder to businesses and citizens to continue their own preparations for a no deal Brexit. 

FUNDING IF NEEDED

Andrew Rosindell (Romford) asked the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what additional support will be allocated to Gibraltar in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

Mr Robin Walker (Worcester) :The Overseas Territories, including Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands, are responsible for their own contingency planning. We regularly meet with the Overseas Territories, and provide advice and support on contingency planning to ensure they are prepared to trade with the EU in all scenarios. In the event of a no deal, HMG has agreed to guarantee funding for specific EU projects in the Overseas Territories, should it be required.
