No 10 offers to drop internal market bill clauses if EU deal agreed

UK offers to drop sections that would breach international law in potential sign of softening attitudes

The government has said it may drop sections of its internal market bill that would breach international law by letting the UK unilaterally rewrite parts of the Brexit departure agreement, in a potential sign of softening attitudes.

A government statement said the change in stance followed talks between the UK and EU via the withdrawal agreement joint committee, the body intended to iron out disagreements over the document, signed in January.
