Further comments by Theresa May

  • Recognises that there are concerns about the backstop
  • Looking at extent to which parliament can have role in backstop usage

She's attempting to win over some quarters in parliament with those words here. The issue is that after the legal advice was released, it showed that the backstop would endure 'indefinitely' and that is something that angered quite a lot of MPs; more so as the government delayed releasing the full legal advice until they were charged with contempt.
