Talks Between DUP And Conservatives To Continue
Talks between the DUP and Conservatives to support a minority government are to continue.
Discussions with Prime Minister Theresa May began after the Tories failed to win an outright majority in the general election.
However, on Tuesday the DUP said the Government needed to focus on the discussions.
Mrs May is preparing to set out her legislative programme for the next two years in a Queen's Speech which is expected to be dominated by Brexit.
The State Opening of Parliament, which has already been delayed two days, will take place later today, 21 June.
