An announcement on a Northern Ireland Protocol deal is imminent, the BBC understands
An announcement about a new deal between the EU and UK on post-Brexit trading arrangements for Northern Ireland is expected imminently, multiple sources have told the BBC.
The government has not confirmed if MPs would get a vote on any deal, but said they would be able to "express" their view.Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab earlier told the BBC the UK was close to securing a deal with the European Union. Under the terms of the protocol, Northern Ireland continued to follow some EU laws to get around the need for checks at the UK's border with the Republic of Ireland.
Before Brexit, it was easy to transport goods across this border because both sides followed the same EU rules. After the UK left, special trading arrangements were needed because Northern Ireland has a land border with the Republic of Ireland, which is part of the EU. Mr Sunak has been trying to get the Democratic Unionist Party to agree to a deal, with the party currently blocking the formation of devolved government in Northern Ireland. They have set out seven tests which need to be passed if they are to support any deal - including no new checks on goods traded between GB and Northern Ireland, but also crucially no border in the Irish Sea.
