"This House affirms, that should proposals be put forward in connection with greater civilian use of the Gibraltar airport, which might in the view of the Gibraltar House of Assembly make it possible to represent or interpret such use as being an encroachment on British Sovereignty over the isthmus, such proposals would be unacceptable to this House and to the people of Gibraltar. It calls on her Majesty’s Government to note this view and make it known to the Government of the Kingdom of Spain.
This House declares that the views and wishes of the people of Gibraltar in respect of the use of the Airport are: (a) that it should continue under the exclusive control of the British and Gibraltarian authorities and (b) that any flight from or to any foreign country should be governed by the rules applicable to international flights." :-
Our Chief Minister's concessions to Spain in the Airport Agreement will ignore the House Motions by allowing flights to Spain as Spanish national flights within the Schengen Area, but with passengers to Gibraltar being checked by Spanish Officials when they are on British soil.
