The 2017 Confidence and Supply Agreement, which was for the duration of this Parliament, has provided certainty and stability that the country needed as we embarked on Brexit and beyond.

The Conservative and Unionist Party has worked with the Democratic Unionist Party to govern in the national interest.

Parliament has now resolved to hold an early general election, which will bring this Parliament and the 2017 Agreement to a close.
