    Loughborough MP Nicky Morgan has joined a group of Conservatives trying to find a way forwards over Brexit.

    The aim of the Alternative Arrangements Working Group, made up of leave and remain MPs and government officials, is to suggest a solution to the issue of a hard northern Irish border.

    It comes after Parliament voted to replace the backstop last week - an insurance policy to prevent checks on goods and people returning to the Northern Ireland border.

    Contingency plans have been drawn up in case a Derby waste treatment plant never becomes fully operational.

    It's still not known when the Sinfin incinerator will be completed. Derby City Council says some of its waste would be sent to landfill if the contract collapsed.

    It's believed the cost of doing so would be roughly the same as if it were sent to Sinfin.
