unstar this property answer text I can confirm that during an unlawful incursion by a Spanish State survey vessel into British Gibraltar Territorial Waters (BGTW) on 3 July, the vessel’s probe struck a Royal Navy vessel as it deployed. The British Government protested immediately to the Spanish government at a senior level, making clear that it was unacceptable. It was fortunate that no-one was hurt and no serious damage was done. As I made clear in my answer to HL1104, there have been 55 unlawful incursions from 1 June to 8 July. We protested these through 5 diplomatic notes. more like this
