If we need to legislate on N. Ireland we will – UK minister

LONDON (Reuters) – Britain will not shy away from legislating to change post-Brexit trade rules for Northern Ireland if necessary, Britain’s Northern Ireland minister Brandon Lewis said on Tuesday.

“We’ve always said we take nothing off the table. If we do need to legislate, we will not shy away from doing that,” Lewis told BBC television when asked if the government had stepped back from plans to introduce domestic legislation to scrap parts of the so-called Northern Ireland protocol.
