MADRID: The Spanish government on Friday introduced plans to minimise the effect of a no-deal Brexit on British residents in Spain. Spain has the largest British expat community in the EU. One enduring point of dispute between Britain and Madrid, which is rising up the diplomatic agenda as Brexit nears, is Gibraltar. Madrid has a long-standing claim on Gibraltar, a small rocky outcrop on Spain’s southern tip that was ceded to the British crown in 1713. Calvo said special attention was being paid to ensure the easy flow of the 9,000 Spanish workers who cross over into Gibraltar daily.
