The brake enables Britain to prevent new EU laws applying to goods in Northern Ireland if asked to do so by a third of lawmakers in the province’s devolved legislature
The ERG has described the measure as “practically useless” and the DUP complains that it does not apply to existing EU law.
The Northern Irish party, at odds with opinion polls suggesting 45 per cent of voters in the province support the framework versus 17 per cent opposed, has said it will keep talking to the government to try to assuage its concerns. After the ERG published a legal document rubbishing most of the measures contained in the Windsor Framework, former prime minister Johnson, the face of the campaign to leave the EU, and his successor, Truss, said they would vote against the brake.
“The proposed arrangements would mean either that Northern Ireland remained captured by the EU legal order … or they would mean that the whole of the U.K. was unable properly to diverge and take advantage of Brexit,” he said.
