The embattled British PM, who has so far survived a mutiny by hard-line Brexit proponents within the Tory party, will meet with EU official on the issue on Sunday, November 25 at the EU Council meeting.
Earlier this week, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she hoped for a positive outcome of EU27 negotiations and for a solution to the Gibraltar disagreement before the November 25 deadline.
European Council President Donald Tusk confirmed on Thursday a deal had been struck in principle ahead of the Sunday summit.
Theresa May has updated her Cabinet on the progress achieved and will be making a statement to the House of Commons Thursday afternoon.
