People to be able to move across land border with no checks, and airport to have Eurostar-style dual border checks
The UK and Spain have struck a deal over Gibraltar’s future, concluding four years of on-off negotiations.
The two sides have agreed measures to ensure people can move freely across the land border between Gibraltar and Spain with no checks, and to introduce Eurostar-style dual border checks at the airport.
The agreement does not affect sovereignty over Gibraltar, which remains a British overseas territory.
David Lammy, the UK foreign secretary, said: “This government inherited a situation from the last government which put Gibraltar’s economy and way of life under threat. Today’s breakthrough delivers a practical solution after years of uncertainty.
