Outmaneuvered Opposition. The committee's approval caught the surtax's opponents by surprise. Some conservatives who oppose high taxation and spending were disarmed by the bill's bipartisan support and by the nation's growing concern about inflation.

Foreign Secretary Michael Stewart pledged in the Commons that "Her Majesty's Government, with the full support of this House and the country, will do whatever is necessary to maintain the freedom and the way of life of the people of Gibraltar." There would be no official retaliation, he explained, but he suggested that Britons might "think twice and many times before in future making plans to go to Spain for their holiday." Gibraltar, hurt but by no means crippled, stood defiant. "The Gibraltarians are making do," TIME Correspondent John Blashill reported from...
