Proceeding contribution from David Davis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 17 January 2017. It occurred during Ministerial statement on New Partnership with the EU.
New Partnership with the EU
Let me pick up both parts of the question. The hon. Gentleman is right: only one of the two countries in the area will be in the European Union.
I discussed that issue with Mr Barnier, and the point that came across very clearly was that the European Union is very proud of its position in the peace process and does not want to jeopardise it. I believe that the terms of the 1949 Act will apply, whereby Irish citizens will be treated the same as British citizens and vice versa.
