Royal Navy supply vessels could be built in Spain as a result of Brexit negotiations regarding Gibraltar, union leaders say.
The GMB has raised fears that contracts worth £1billion to build the vessels could go to a naval yard in northern Spain.
The union said the contract for Fleet Solid Support ships could go to Navantia, a Spanish state-owned shipbuilding company.
