Northern Ireland Secretary of State Brandon Lewis has insisted there will not be a border down the Irish Sea.
Speaking during a visit to Londonderry Mr Lewis added: "I think it's safest not to get too caught up in rumours and stuff in the press over the weekends, we are focusing on our main job.
"We have always said we want to make sure there is unfettered access between GB and Northern Ireland, we've always as a government obviously gone by the rule of law and we will continue to do that.
"We want to make sure that the United Kingdom is one whole union, and one that is good for business across the United Kingdom.
"We've always said there will not be a border down the Irish Sea, there will be unfettered access for business.''
