The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) has set up a consultation group to help deliberate on whether to accept proposed UK–EU legislation to replace post-Brexit trading arrangements.

The panel—made up of politicians as well as business and legal representatives—will carefully scrutinise the Windsor Framework deal, as well as engage with members of the unionist and loyalist communities in Northern Ireland, the party said on Monday.
