Mr Manley was asked whether he thought it logical that Britain should still have “a colony” in a European country that was also its close partner and ally.

“Gibraltar is not a colony,” he replied.

“It is a British overseas territory, with its own constitution, a vibrant democracy and a multicultural society.”

“I encourage you to visit and see it for yourself. You will like it.”



“The British Government is not going to negotiate over the sovereignty of Gibraltar without the consent of its people and the Government of Gibraltar,” Mr Manley replied.

“But we are trying, in collaboration with the Government of Gibraltar, to reinforce daily cooperation with Spain, for example in the war on organised crime in the area.”

The issue cross-border relations between Gibraltar and Spain sparked a heated exchange during a pre-election debate yesterday between the controversial Partido Popular MP and mayor of Algeciras, Jose Ignacio Landaluce, and the PSOE MP Salvador de la Encina.

The debate starkly illustrated the difference in approach between the two parties on Gibraltar in the run-up to Sunday’s general election in Spain.

The PP politician accused the PSOE of ceding ground to Gibraltar in the trilateral process, while the socialist MP said his party would seek dialogue with the Rock for the benefit of communities on both sides of the border.
