In so doing, the agreement preserves the economic and constitutional integrity of the United Kingdom, upholds the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, and ensures people and businesses that rely on an open border between Northern Ireland and Ireland can continue living their lives and operating as they do now.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 10/12/2018 15:45:52 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
