Ulster Unionist MEP, Jim Nicholson, has welcomed the Prime Minister`s comments in the House of Commons today defending the Union but insisted that words alone are not enough.
Jim Nicholson MEP said:
“I welcome the Prime Minister’s comments in the House of Commons today defending the Union and the constitutional integrity of our country. Indeed, it is not inconsistent with clear commitments she has already made, both before and since the last general election.
“However the reality is her words alone are not enough, especially at this late stage. We need to see the Prime Minister and her Government deliver on these commitments. Brussels needs to be clear that the United Kingdom will not accept any new customs or regulatory border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the country.”
