Asked by: Greg Hands (Conservative - Chelsea and Fulham)

Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

What recent discussions he has had with the Irish Government on ensuring that there is no hard border on the island of Ireland.

Answered by Julian Smith

I have regular discussions with the Irish Government concerning the UK's exit from the EU.

The Government is fully committed to ensuring there will be no hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland. The Prime Minister has negotiated a new deal which ensures that will be the case.
