The UK government will give “full consideration” to the findings and recommendations of an independent review of the Windsor Framework, the Northern Ireland secretary has said.
Lord Murphy of Torfaen was commissioned in January to lead an independent review of the post-Brexit deal, which was published last week.
Speaking at the British-Irish Association Conference in Oxford, Northern Ireland secretary Hilary Benn said the government was “steadfastly committed to the full and faithful implementation of the Windsor Framework”.
He said the framework was a “pragmatic” response to the “unique challenge” of Brexit and the Irish border.
“Following the publication… of the independent review of the Windsor Framework carried out by Lord Murphy, the government will of course now give full consideration to his findings and recommendations,” he added.
