Commons Leader Penny Mordaunt has said Boris Johnson’s calls for the government not to drop the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill are “helpful” to remind the EU of its importance
A source close to Boris Johnson said it would be a “great mistake” to scrap the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill Boris Johnson’s warnings that dropping the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill “mistake” are “not completely unhelpful” to negotiations, a senior Cabinet minister has said.
“The intervention by a source close to the previous Prime Minister is helpful to remind the EU of that bill, and what this deal actually has to deliver,” Ms Mordaunt continued.The government is currently trying to thrash out a deal on the protocol, and it has been indicated that the existing Northern Ireland Protocol Bill could be scrapped if an agreement is reached.
Earlier this weekend, Downing Street issued a statement following a meeting between the Prime Minister and Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission stating they were “making very good progress” on reaching a deal. The Bill, which was put in place by Mr Johnson while he was in office, would allow the government to unilaterally decide to move away from current arrangements in Northern Ireland and ends the role of the European Court of Justice .
