Talks with Gibraltar

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was in London to talk with the Chief Minister of Gibraltar about preserving links with the European Union.

She went to Gibraltar House to meet Fabian Picardo following both Scotland and Gibraltar’s overwhelming vote to remain part of the European Union.
