The First Secretary of State, Damian Green has said the DUP deal means people "can be more confident that the government will be able to get its legislation through".

The deal, which will see the DUP back Theresa May's minority government, includes 拢1bn extra investment for Northern Ireland over the next two years.

When questioned whether the UK government could remain an 'honest broker' in the peace process, Mr Green said "the agreement very specifically makes clear" that the UK government and the DUP support the Good Friday Agreement.

He added: "We've illustrated that by the fact that the Northern Ireland secretary has not been part of the talks."
