But Lammy insisted Gibraltar would not be joining the Schengen free travel area - 26 European states that have abolished passport control at their mutual border so people can travel freely.Schengen countries also have common rules on asylum and countries whose nationals require visas.

Lammy said it was "fake news" that Gibraltar would be joining Schengen and "this was never on the table"."Immigration, policing and justice in Gibraltar will remain the responsibilities of Gibraltar's authorities," he added.Talks on the rules governing the border between Spain and Gibraltar - a 2.6 square mile headland to the south of the country - have been ongoing since the UK left the EU in 2020.

The issue had been a key sticking point, which has remained unresolved since Brexit.MPs broadly welcomed the deal, which has been hailed as "historic" by Gibraltar, Spain and the EU.

Giving a statement in the Commons, Lammy said Labour was "solving the problems leftover from the last [Conservative] government and their thin Brexit deal".

He added that the deal "removes another obstacle to closer ties with our EU friends" and "provides much needed certainty for people and businesses in Gibraltar".Development funding to advance a carbon capture project in Aberdeenshire was also announced in the UK Government's Spending Review.

The Acorn Project based in St Fergus would take greenhouse gas emissions and store them under the North Sea, in a process known as carbon capture and storage (CCS).It comes following calls from business leaders for investment in the long-delayed project, which has been on a reserve list for funding.

The exact amount of development funding for the project has not been announced and UK government documentation published with the Spending Review states "a final investment decision will be taken later this parliament, subject to project readiness and affordability".Reeves said: "These are investments to make sure the towns and cities which powered our last industrial revolution will play their part in our next industrial revolution, to reduce our reliance on overseas oil and gas and protect working families from price shocks."
