	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2014 answer text I am grateful for the support that members of the US Congress have shown for Gibraltar and we are working with them to build support for Gibraltar’s right to choose to remain under British sovereignty. The UK has given a firm commitment that we will never enter into arrangements under which the people of Gibraltar would pass under the Sovereignty of another State against their wishes. Furthermore we have given an assurance that we will not enter into a process of Sovereignty negotiations with which Gibraltar is not content. The wishes of the people of Gibraltar to remain British must be respected. The UK’s position on sovereignty was reaffirmed most recently in the UN Fourth Committee. answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 04/11/2014 15:11:53 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
