British sovereignty over Gibraltar remains "sacrosanct", the foreign secretary has said, after the UK agreed a deal with the European Union over the territory's post-Brexit future. David Lammy told the House of Commons the agreement included a clause "explicitly protecting our sovereignty".

The Foreign Secretary told MPs to ‘ignore the fake news’, that Gibraltar joining Schengen ‘was never on the table’.

Agreement marks a breakthrough after five years of tense negotiations over the border with Spain that have been ongoing since Britain left the bloc in 2020
