Spain was accused of an 'act of war' today after its naval ships repeatedly entered the territorial waters of Gibraltar.
Bob Stewart, Tory MP for Beckenham, said the British Government needed to 'respond robustly to this aggravation' after Commons Leader Andrew Lansley said two Spanish naval vessels entered the waters of Gibraltar on Monday.
He said they were given radio warnings before leaving but Mr Stewart, a former colonel, said the incursion was illegal and the Government needed to 'do something about it'.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond and Foreign Secretary William Hague should update the Commons with a statement, he said.
Speaking in the Commons, Mr Stewart told MPs: 'May I gently remind the House that an illegal incursion into British Gibraltarian sovereign waters is actually, technically an act of war?
'What is happening at the moment is wrong and we should do something about it.
MP Bob Stewart said the British Government needed to 'respond robustly to this aggravation'
'Can I ask for an urgent statement by the Secretary of State for Defence and the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to actually respond robustly to this aggravation?'
