Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what plans he has to visit border communities in Northern Ireland to discuss the effect of the UK leaving the EU on those communities; and if he will make a statement.

I and my Ministerial colleagues have had and will continue to have meetings with a range of individuals, groups and businesses across Northern Ireland, including border areas, to discuss a variety of issues including the impact and opportunities of the UK’s exit from the European Union.

The UK Government is determined to make a success of Brexit for the whole of the UK, including Northern Ireland. We are committed to ensuring that the interests of Northern Ireland are protected and advanced through the development of specific solutions to address its unique circumstances.
