Former minister speaks out as Ursula von der Leyen prepares to meet Rishi Sunak for what No 10 calls ‘final talks’
The former Northern Ireland secretary, Theresa Villiers, has said it is “crucial parliament has a vote” on the much-anticipated deal to end the dispute with the EU over post Brexit trading arrangements in Northern Ireland.
Villiers was speaking hours before the European Commission vice-president, Ursula von der Leyen, was due to meet Rishi Sunak for what No 10 has billed “final talks” over a revised Northern Ireland protocol pact.
