We recognise the need for specific solutions for the unique circumstances of Northern Ireland and Ireland. But that solution cannot come at the cost of the constitutional and economic integrity of the United Kingdom, and cannot amount to creating a new border inside our United Kingdom.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 21/11/2017 12:49:54 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
