▸ Context
Discussions between UK Government and Northern Ireland Executive on co-ordinating the response to the pandemic.
I also welcome the positive way in which the Northern Ireland Executive have worked with the UK Government during this crisis. Does my right hon Friend share my hope that this positive spirit of co-operation continues?
Brandon Lewis (Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General)
Absolutely. There has been an absolute unity of purpose in dealing with covid over the period from all parts, and the relationships—east-west, and of the Republic of Ireland with Northern Ireland and the UK Government—have been very positive. We have worked together and met regularly and, as I say, I think that has been a positive sign for what we can achieve in the future.
