Irish border poll: No change in policy says NI Secretary

Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris has told the NI Affairs Committee there has been no shift in UK government policy over any future united Ireland referendum.

It comes after his Northern Ireland Office colleague Steve Baker reportedly said a border poll should need the support of a 'super-majority'.

Under the Good Friday Agreement, such a referendum would be decided on a simple majority of more than 50%.

Mr Heaton-Harris said this remained the government's position.
