Statement on the Unilateral Declaration of Independence made by the Catalan regional parliament.
A Downing Street spokesperson said:
The UK does not and will not recognise the Unilateral Declaration of Independence made by the Catalan regional parliament. It is based on a vote that was declared illegal by the Spanish courts. We continue to want to see the rule of law upheld, the Spanish Constitution respected, and Spanish unity preserved.
