"We're engaging in those conversations with the European Union all the time and we have been for a while, but what I'd say is there is still work to do.
His comments come after Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald said that "significant progress" had been made to resolve the dispute over the Northern Ireland Protocol said headway was being made in the talks. "The bottom line is that we have to ensure that any deal provides for ongoing access to the European single market, no hardening of the border on the island of Ireland and a protection of the Good Friday Agreement in all of its parts.
After meeting with Mr Sunak the Northern Irish capital, DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson said "progress has been made" on issue, but that some work was still required.
