Brexit minister David Davis said on Wednesday he was optimistic that the European Union would be helpful in the government's quest not to have a "hard border" between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
"I'm optimistic that the European Union will be helpful to us on this. (EU Brexit negotiator) Michel Barnier, who's an old sparring partner of mine, is also very seized of this," Davis told lawmakers in a question-and-answer session. (Reuters)
