Perhaps the hon. Gentleman should address that question to those on the DUP Bench, not to those on the Government Benches.

Ruth Cadbury (Brentford and Isleworth) (Lab)

- Hansard - -

The Secretary of State says he is serious about delivering the best for the United Kingdom and that he thinks Brexit is a cinch. The EU Commissioners estimate that there are currently 142 areas of north-south co-operation that depend on EU law. Is the plan for Northern Ireland to remain aligned in each of those 142 areas, or more widely?

Mr Davis

- Hansard - - - Excerpts

First, the hon. Lady should not take sarcasm as fact. Secondly, the 142 areas do not all rely on EU law. I am afraid she is factually wrong.
