Downing Street has clashed with Brussels over its description of Gibraltar as a “colony”.
The row was ignited after the European Council referred to the rock as an area occupied by Britain in a document setting out plans for Brits to have visa-free travel to the EU after Brexit.
The document references the “controversy between Spain and the UK,” over the sovereignty of the territory.
But the prime minister’s official spokesman said: “It is completely unacceptable to describe Gibraltar in this way.
“Gibraltar is a full part of the UK family. This will not change due to our exit from the EU.”
