To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment has been made of the potential implications of the illegal migration into the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla for the security of Gibraltar's land and maritime border.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment has been made of the potential implications of the illegal migration into the Spanish enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla for the security of Gibraltar's land and maritime border.
The Government keeps migration risks under constant review and remains in regular contact with His Majesty's Government of Gibraltar (who have responsibility for border security in Gibraltar) on issues including migration and border security. There is no evidence that recent migration into Ceuta has created an immediate migration risk to Gibraltar. The Chief Minister has publicly reassured the community on this point. It remains illegal to be in Gibraltar without permission, with those present unlawfully liable to arrest and detention. Gibraltar's recently updated laws on entry, residence and employment continue to provide the necessary protections against unlawful entry, residence and employment. We continue to work with international partners to strengthen border security, tackle irregular migration and disrupt the criminal networks that facilitate it.

As outlined in its manifesto, this Government is committed to ending puppy smuggling. This Government operates one of the most rigorous and robust pet travel checking regimes in Europe and keeps resource allocation for these checks under review in close liaison with enforcement agencies.
The Animal Welfare (Import of Dogs, Cats and Ferrets) Act 2025 gives the Government powers to introduce measures to strengthen current enforcement mechanisms. This Government will continue to work with UK enforcement bodies as it develops these measures, including on resource impacts.
That this House expresses grave concern at attempts by large numbers of migrants to breach the borders of the Spanish autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla; reaffirms the importance of maintaining secure international borders and respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of allied nations; believes that any deliberate attempt to weaponise irregular migration against a neighbouring state represents a serious threat to regional security; further believes that these events underline the strategic importance of ensuring the continued security and resilience of Gibraltar; calls on the Government to offer Spain any appropriate assistance requested to strengthen border security and restore order; further calls for a full international investigation into any evidence of state involvement in facilitating or encouraging attempts to breach the borders, including allegations that individuals may have been transported or otherwise assisted for the purpose of destabilisation; and urges the Government to work with international partners to ensure that any state found to have deliberately orchestrated or supported such actions faces appropriate diplomatic consequences.

The Government is aware of reports of clashes and cross-border incursions in Kajo-Keji County along the South Sudan-Uganda border. We are concerned by reports that the clashes have resulted in displacement and heightened tensions in local communities. The incidents appear to be linked to long-standing disputes over the poorly demarcated South Sudan-Uganda border, where similar clashes have occurred previously.
We continue to monitor the situation closely through our Embassies in Juba and Kampala, and encourage restraint and de-escalation by all parties.

SPS Inspection Facilities at Belfast, Larne, Foyle, and Warrenpoint are now operational. Remaining works on 13 July 2026 were limited to minor snagging and commissioning activities in line with normal construction practice and include additional works at Larne which will enhance the live animal inspections already in place.
This Government, which has responsibility for delivery of these facilities, remains committed to a maximum funding envelope of £192.3 million. Of this envelope, £152.2 million has been spent up to the 13 July 2026. Further payments for construction have yet to be made in accordance with contractual terms, however the total expenditure is forecast to be within the maximum funding envelope.

I absolutely do. The agreement enjoyed unanimous support in the Parliament. Gibraltar has been at the heart of the negotiations throughout: one of our key conditions was that Gibraltar was entirely satisfied with what was agreed. Fundamentally, the agreement will benefit people, businesses and communities —that is at its heart....
