Monday 16th July 2018

Asked by: Emma Reynolds (Labour - Wolverhampton North East)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, whether under the proposals agreed by the Cabinet at Chequers on 6 July the Government’s proposed backstop for Northern Ireland will be permanent or time limited.

Answered by Robin Walker

The proposals agreed by the Cabinet at Chequers on 6 July for the UK's future relationship with the EU, and if agreed to in negotiations, would ensure that the backstop solution as part of the Withdrawal Agreement would not need to be brought into effect. It has always been the UK Government’s intention to address our commitments on the Irish border through the future relationship and these proposals show how we can do so.
