I thank the Minister for her response. I heard some exasperation in her voice when she described the past couple of meetings that she had had as having been constructive but probably without bearing fruit.

Does the Member accept that we have a difference of opinion on what would solve the problem? Equally, being entirely in the UK would solve the issues.

I beg to move Thank you, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. The motion goes to the very heart of what the DUP has consistently said: Northern Ireland should not and must not be treated as a place apart within the United Kingdom. When it is, the result is damaging for ordinary men and women, consumers, families and…

I thank the deputy First Minister for her contribution so far.

Will the Member acknowledge that, when his colleague spoke in the debate, she referenced that this was as much about Irish citizens who felt disenfranchised from Europe, having been part of an area that had left Europe, feeling that connection again? In itself, that says that this is about symbolism and the…

In following the previous contributor, I remind people that the UK left the European Union as part of the UK's largest ever democratic exercise — something that you will not see in places such as Venezuela that other parties have tended to support until now. Today, we are asked to consider a motion calling for the…

Not at the moment, thank you.
