This is Mr Lidington’s statement in full: “I am impressed by the significant steps taken by Gibraltar to tackle tobacco smuggling. A commitment to cut the number of cigarettes allowed at the border by 90% will be just one of a package of tough measures taken and I am confident that we will see a significant impact on levels of smuggling as a result.
