Foreign secretary Liz Truss has said the UK government would not intervene to prevent DUP ministers in Northern Ireland halting checks required under the Brexit deal.

Ms Truss said it would be up to the Northern Ireland Executive to decide if officials in the province should stop inspections on goods if ordered to do so by DUP agricultural minister Edwin Poots.
