The UK is close to a deal with Spain and the EU over Gibraltar’s post-Brexit status, one of the last outstanding problems created by Britain’s departure from the bloc.
Gibraltar has been in limbo since early 2020 when Brexit came into effect, with London, Brussels and Madrid unable to agree on several issues, including how the territory’s border should be policed.
UK foreign secretary David Lammy flew to Gibraltar on Tuesday and met officials and businesses before flying to Brussels on Wednesday for talks with his Spanish counterpart José Manuel Albares and EU Brexit commissioner Maroš Šefčovič. He was accompanied on the flight by the Gibraltar delegation.
