We have always been clear that we will not agree anything that threatens the constitutional or economic integrity of the UK.</p><p> </p><p>We have pledged to translate all of the commitments made in the Joint Report we published with the EU Commission in December into a legally binding Withdrawal Agreement. This includes all of those on Northern Ireland and Ireland. We remain absolutely committed to doing so.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 15/03/2018 14:03:25 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
