<p>The best way to guarantee no hard border remains delivering a deal with the EU.
Both the UK and Ireland have said they will do everything in our power to avoid a
hard border in any scenario. But, given that we haven’t yet agreed a deal, the Government’s
continued duty is to prepare for every eventuality, including a no deal scenario.</p><p>The
UK Government is clear that, in the event of no deal, we will do everything in our
power to prevent a return to a hard border. In such a scenario, we must continue to
respect our unique relationship with Ireland, with whom we share a land border and
who are co-signatories of the Belfast Agreement. The UK Government is also firmly
committed to maintaining the Common Travel Area (CTA) and to protecting the rights
enjoyed by UK and Irish nationals when in each other’s state, regardless of the terms
of our withdrawal from the EU.</p><p>The Government has published a technical notice
on travelling within the CTA, which can be found on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/travelling-in-the-common-travel-area-if-theres-no-brexit-deal/travelling-within-the-common-travel-area-and-the-associated-rights-of-british-and-irish-citizens-if-there-is-no-brexit-deal"
