Gibraltar: update meetings by Foreign Secretary.

STATEMENT GIVEN BY THE FOREIGN SECRETARY, JACK STRAW, TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, LONDON, TUESDAY 5 FEBRUARY 2002

It reflects the understandable feeling of betrayal shared by many other communities left behind by the receding of the red ink from the map of the world. The force of the Gibraltarians' insistence on their Britishness carries echoes of the excessive loyalty to symbols of Britishness demonstrated by the unionists in Northern Ireland.
