Ellis to EU: ‘Our door remains open’ on NI protocol

This afternoon, MPs are debating clauses 7, 8 and 9 of a revised Northern Ireland protocol following “practical problems” caused by the initial deal between the UK and the EU.

Ellis emphasised that the government wants a negotiated deal with the European Union, telling the EU “our door remains open”.

The paymaster general told the House of Commons that the legislation in front of them would “fix the problems”.
