David Davis reports on second round of Brexit negotiations


Default: Change to:


The Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, Rt Hon David Davis MP, has written to the Lords EU Committee to summarise the outcome of the second round of Brexit negotiations.


Mr Davis repeats his offer to appear again before the Committee in October, though he does not respond in terms to the Committee's request that he, or a departmental colleague, should appear in September.

As for the negotiations, Mr Davis' letter outlines progress so far on the key withdrawal issues. He describes 'three days of constructive and substantive discussions' on citizens' rights, while acknowledging continuing differences in specific areas.

On the financial settlement, Mr Davis says negotiations focused on 'exploring the EU position paper'. He also outlines initial discussions on issues affecting Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
