Text

I thank the First Minister for her answer. Does the First Minister agree that it is essential for Northern Ireland's economy that the Executive speak with one voice on the issue? Can she assure me that the Executive are working together on a single policy, when dealing with His Majesty's Government, that internal UK trade should again be free and unfettered and that barriers east–west should be removed after being created under the Windsor framework?
