We live in very interesting times. Two weeks ago Ms Nicola Sturgeon, MSP, the First Minister of Scotland, was here and everybody was urging Scotland to vote for independence. That was wonderful and on Monday in Dublin and London the British House of Lords launched the Brexit: UK-Irish Relations report. The report was very practical and measured and showed an interest in Irish-UK relations that I do not think we had seen before. Ms Sturgeon's presence in this Chamber was invigorating and generated great debate. It is what this Chamber should be about. At the British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly in Cardiff two weeks ago diplomats from Gibraltar made a presentation on how concerned they were about Brexit. It is an overseas dependency and 96% of its inhabitants voted to remain in the European Union. It wants a special arrangement, too. We should invite Mr. Fabian Picardo, Chief Minister of Gibraltar, to this House to discuss its concerns and ours. We need to build an alliance with Malta, Cyprus and EU-committed members which have a link with the United Kingdom. We should not be fearful of teasing out all of the options because they are not just Irish-UK options but also involve all of the European Union and the various dependencies. We need to work very closely together. I will be calling on the Leader to invite the Chief Minister of Gibraltar to the House for an open and measured debate.

That will be a matter for the Committee on Procedure and Privileges.
