answer text <p>The unlawful incursion by a Spanish State research vessel into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters on 3 July - during which its probe struck a Royal Navy vessel - was unacceptable. We protested immediately to the Spanish government at a senior level. It is fortunate that no-one was hurt and no serious damage was done.</p> more like this

answer text <p>As the Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), said in his speech on 21 May 2015, the Government is concerned that under the current free movement rules, national welfare systems can provide an unintended additional incentive for large migratory movements. Consequently reforming welfare and particularly access to benefits for mobile EU nationals in order to reduce incentives for migration is one of our priorities for the renegotiation. The Prime Minister is working with his European partners to achieve this.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We, together with EU and international partners, have consistently set out our concerns about breaches of fundamental rights, freedom of speech and the politicisation of institutions to Prime Minister Gruevski and other representatives of the Macedonian government. The British Embassy in Skopje demarched, along with members of the Quint (US, EU delegation, France, Germany and Italy) Prime Minister Gruevski in March and again in May in view of the ongoing political crisis in Macedonia.
