recognises that there are still questions about the detail and how the deal will be
operationalised. That is why this commitment is so important.</p><p> </p><p>It is
of course vital that Northern Ireland businesses are closely involved in the next
stage of this work and we will establish robust channels with both Ministers and officials
to ensure this over the coming months. We will also engage in detail with the Executive
