Legal action is being planned to challenge whether new UK government legislation which led to the return of Stormont restores the “core constitutional provisions” of the Acts of Union.

Jamie Bryson, from the Unionist Voice Policy Studies group, has also asked new agriculture minister Andrew Muir to confirm that all checks on goods destined for Northern Ireland from the rest of the UK will end when the legislation clears all parliamentary stages.
