Talks are to be held with Brussels over post-Brexit trade difficulties between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the UK's Cabinet Office minister David Frost has said.

The Tory frontbencher told peers at his first dedicated question time in the UK's House of Lords, that a “specialised committee” would meet on Friday March 26, to consider “all the issues” related to implementing the part of the withdrawal deal, which seeks to avoid a hard Irish border.
