    Royal Navy sends warships to Gibraltar as part of 'routine' exercise


    A fleet of British warships will visit Gibraltar this month in what Prime Minister David Cameron

    calls a "routine deployment", amid escalating tensions between the UK and Spain over access

    to the island.

    The Ministry of Defence confirmed that the frigate HMS Westminster and two auxiliary Royal Navy

    ships will be sent to the Rock, while another three warships will visit Spanish ports.

    They will be accompanied by an elite commando group from the Royal Marines and naval air

    squadrons. The MoD says the deployment is "long-planned" and not connected to political

    disagreements, which began following discussions in Madrid over the imposition of a €50 (£43

    ) fee on every vehicle entering or leaving the island via the Spanish border.
