Boris Johnson says a leaked Treasury document about checks on the Northern Ireland border is 'wrong'.
Boris Johnson says a leaked Treasury document about checks on the Northern Ireland border is "wrong". Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn obtained the document, claiming it proved there would be customs checks between Great Britain and Northern Ireland after Brexit.
Mr Johnson said "[this deal] allows the whole of the UK to come out of the EU including Northern Ireland and the only checks that there would be, is if something was coming from GB via Northern Ireland and was going on to the Republic, then there might be checks at the border into Northern Ireland". Pressed on the document talking about "checks both ways", he said "that's wrong because there won't be checks".
