Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what plans the Government has for the representation of Northern Ireland at the negotiations on the UK leaving the EU in the absence of the Northern Ireland Executive.

We have made clear that we will negotiate as one UK for all parts of the United Kingdom. We are committed to ensuring that the unique circumstances of Northern Ireland are understood, protected and advanced. We are working to ensure that stable devolved government can resume because it is important that a Northern Ireland Executive can contribute to the debate.
