The question of Catalan independence remains a deeply divisive and contentious issue in Spain. 

The Government continues to follow developments there with interest and has consistently said that constitutional and political arrangements in Spain are matters that are best determined by its citizens and their public representatives.

I am aware that judicial proceedings are underway and a number of individuals are currently on trial. As these are matters before the Courts it would not be appropriate for me to comment further.
