Well, Llywydd, as Steffan Lewis said, I'm yet to see either the withdrawal agreement draft or the political declaration. I don't think it is sensible for me to speculate on aspects that may or may not be included in it when we do get to see it, nor, I'm afraid, do I have any knowledge of whether the Government of Gibraltar has had any additional insight into the content of the documents. What I can say is that both I and Mike Russell, on behalf of the Scottish Government, made the first point that he made and made it forcefully with UK Ministers yesterday: other governments of the United Kingdom ought to see these documents before they are concluded and discussed at the UK Cabinet level, not afterwards.
