To work, it must be given effect in a pragmatic, practical and proportionate way.

Lord Frost and Vice President Šefčovič, and their respective teams, remain in close contact as we move forward.</ins> Issues remain, but our aim is to find common sense, risk-based approaches that enable us to agree a pragmatic way forward that substantially eases the burdens on Northern Ireland.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 24/05/2021 11:00:54 question first ministerially corrected 27/05/2021 15:04:53 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker previous answer version 1872 answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
