Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, with regard to the UK–EU Agreement in Respect of Gibraltar: Joint statement on 11 June, whether members of the British armed forces serving in Gibraltar, or their families, will be required to go through Schengen area entry clearance before they can take up their roles.

This agreement fully protects the autonomy of UK military facilities, allowing them to freely continue their vital contribution to regional security and prosperity as they do today. The posting of UK military personnel serving in Gibraltar, and their families, will not depend on Schengen area entry clearance. As now, the UK will decide who will serve in Gibraltar.
