Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, the DUP MP for Lagan Valley, says yesterday the Northern Irish Assembly for the first time used its new veto powers to prevent the application of new EU law that would harm their ability to trade with the rest of the UK.
He asks whether the PM will continue to faithfully implement the measures outlined in the command paper, which are “safeguarding the Union, including fully restoring our place in the UK” and end “unnecessary checks”?
Sunak says its been an encouraging few weeks and that the UK will implement its commitments “at pace” including further regulations on internal trade and the establishment of Intertrade UK.
“Northern Ireland’s place is stronger in the Union,” Sunak says.
