Gibraltar row: UK considering 'unprecedented' legal action
The UK government is considering legal action against Spain over the imposition of additional border checks in Gibraltar, Downing Street has said.
A spokesman said the prime minister was "very disappointed" by Spain's failure to remove the checks over the weekend.
Legal action through the EU would be "unprecedented", the spokesman added.
The Spanish government, which has said its checks are essential to stop smuggling, said it would not relax border controls.
Spain said it had an "obligation" to police the border, and insisted its controls were legal and proportionate.

A government spokesman also said Spain was considering taking the dispute to the UN Security Council, where it could seek the support of Argentina.
