		</div><p>Acting Spanish prime minister Mariano Rajoy has said he hopes Britain stays in the EU but is unhappy with David Cameron&#8217;s brief campaign stop in Gibraltar.</p>
<p>Speaking on Spanish National Radio, Mr Rajoy said his government &#8220;doesn&#8217;t like the idea that Mr Cameron should go to Gibraltar&#8221; but insisted that what is being debated is whether Britain stays in the EU, &#8220;as I hope it does&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Cameron is making a two-hour visit to Gibraltar on Thursday to seek votes to keep Britain in the EU in the June 23 referendum.</p>
<p>Spanish media said it is the first visit to Gibraltar by a British prime minister in nearly 50 years.</p>
<p>Spain ceded Gibraltar&#8217;s sovereignty to Britain in a 1713 treaty but has persistently sought its return ever since.</p>
<p>In the past, it has opposed visits by British royal family members to the territory.</p>
<p>Gibraltar&#8217;s 30,000 inhabitants are believed to be overwhelmingly on the Remain side in the EU debate.</p>
<p>They fear their access to the single European market could be blocked by a hostile Spanish government if Britain exits.</p>
<p>Mr Rajoy said Spain has always viewed Gibraltar as Spanish regardless of the referendum, adding that the campaign should be carried out in Britain, not Gibraltar.</p>
<p>He heads the conservative Popular Party and is running Spain&#8217;s caretaker government following inconclusive elections in December.</p>
<p>Spaniards are to vote in a repeat election on June 26.</p>
