BELFAST, Sept 30 — Britain is in the final stages of talks with Northern Ireland’s largest unionist party and is preparing proposals it hopes will convince them to return to devolved government, Britain’s Northern Ireland minister wrote today.
The British government subsequently pledged to introduce laws to further protect trade with Northern Ireland and placate the DUP, but has yet to publish any proposals and it is unclear how they would be compatible with the revised EU-UK trade deal. “We are pulling together a comprehensive package of proposals that we hope will address their concerns.”
A major part of the Windsor Framework will be implemented from tomorrow, despite the DUP’s concerns, with the introduction of a “green lane” that removes the need for checks on goods imported from Britain that are staying in Northern Ireland.
