Press release: PM call with Taoiseach Varadkar: 27 February 2018

A Downing Street spokesperson said:

Yesterday evening the Prime Minister spoke to the Taoiseach on the Brexit negotiations and the situation in Northern Ireland.

The PM reaffirmed our commitment, as set out in the Joint Report, to avoiding a hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland or between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom and to converting all of these commitments into legal text in the coming months.

The PM and the Taoiseach both agreed that it was their preference to achieve this through the overall future relationship between the UK and the EU. The PM advised that she would say more on this future relationship in her speech on Friday.

The leaders also discussed the current political situation in Northern Ireland. The Prime Minister said she had met with both Sinn Fein and the DUP last week and that she still believes a basis for accommodation remains. They committed to remain in touch on this.

The Landfill Tax (Wales) (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Order 2018

This Order makes consequential and transitional arrangements in relation to the devolution of landfill tax to Wales. Specifically, it makes amendments to the Landfill Tax Regulations 1996 (S.I. 1996/1527) (“LFTR 1996”) to reflect the fact that landfill tax will no longer be charged in Wales with effect from the day on which sections 18 and 19 of the Wales Act 2014 (c. 29) come into force (the “commencement date”). The amendments made by this Order will come into force on the commencement date.
