I spoke with Prime Minister May by phone on Sunday evening, 9th December. We discussed the situation on Brexit, including the vote in Westminster which, at that time, was scheduled for Tuesday 11th December but which was subsequently deferred by the Prime Minister. I restated the Government's position that the backstop is an essential part of the Withdrawal Agreement and expressed my hope that the Withdrawal Agreement could be ratified. We also discussed preparations for the upcoming European Council held on 13/14 December.
