   SPANISH-BRITISH QUARREL CONCERNING STRANDED NUCLEAR SUBMARINE

   The British Navy has willfully held back information about the dangers of repairing a British nuclear submarine stranded at Gibraltar, the Spanish newspaper El Mundo claims. The newspaper is quoting a representative for the Spanish Nuclear Protective Agency who says the tension between the two nation now is "at the breaking point".
   The British submarine HMS Tireless has been stranded by the British colony Gibraltar since May last year.
