The new Secretary of State has said there is a "fairly obvious landing zone" to resolve through negotiations an impasse over Brexit's Northern Ireland Protocol.
Chris Heaton-Harris was facing his first questions from MPs in the House of Commons a day after being appointed by Prime Minster Liz Truss as Northern Ireland secretary.
He replaced Shailesh Vara, who had been in post for just 61 days after Brandon Lewis resigned during the turmoil that ended Boris Johnson's premiership.
