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’.

The European Union announced on Wednesday it had sealed a deal with Britain on the status of the territory of Gibraltar, five years after Brexit.
