Johnson: The passage of the domestic market bill will give Britain a real opportunity to close a trade deal:

  • What we are not going to tolerate is a situation where the EU decides it has an opportunity to split our country;

  • We hope that the EU will behave sensibly;

  • If we enter into a deal, we will not use the authority given to us by this bill;

  • We must implement the protocol for Northern Ireland in accordance with the Good Friday Agreement;

  • We must preserve Britain's territorial integrity;

  • We would like to conclude an optimal free trade agreement.
