<p>This Government is committed to fully involving Gibraltar as we leave the EU together.
Most recently, DExEU Secretary of State, Steve Barclay, and I met the Chief Minister
of Gibraltar, Fabian Picardo, on 5 December, and the Prime Minister met him on 15
November. We also meet regularly in the Joint Ministerial Council, our primary forum
for engagement, which has met seven times since the referendum.</p><p>Chief Minister
Picardo observed in his statement on 23 October that we have worked “hand in glove”
throughout the negotiations on Withdrawal. He described the deal as one which ‘works
for Gibraltar’ and welcomed the “unwavering commitment of the United Kingdom that
it will negotiate future trade and other arrangements with the EU that work for all
of the British family of nations, including Gibraltar.”</p><p> </p>
