Sajid Javid: Brexit talks are intense
The chancellor has told the Commons “intensive” negotiations are taking place with Ireland and others over Brexit.
Asked if it is also in the interests of the EU to reach a deal, Mr Javid said: “It’s in everyone’s interest – ours and our European friends and partners – that we reach a deal.
“There are intensive negotiations going on, both with the Irish government and our other European partners, and I think there is a very strong recognition that it’s in all our interests that we reach a deal.”
