Meanwhile, Labour's shadow Brexit Secretary, Sir Kier Starmer, says his party accepts that a backstop within the Withdrawal Agreement - is inevitable.
He's been critical of the backstop in the past and was speaking in Belfast after meeting local political representatives this morning.
Mr.Starmer's comments appear to fly in the face of those held by his party leader Jeremy Corbyn who's among the MPs to call for the backstop to be scrapped.
