Brussels has offered to ease trade checks on goods entering Northern Ireland from the UK to end the “sausage wars” that risk the province’s peace process.

But Brexit minister Lord Frost says the proposals fall short and insists the UK-EU relationship cannot be “ultimately policed” by European courts.

He told the House of Commons European scrutiny committee the test for triggering Article 16, allowing either side to suspend any aspect causing economic or societal difficulties, had been passed.
