Conservatives Agree Pact With Democratic Unionist Party To Support Theresa May’s Government




    An agreement has been reached which will see the Democratic Unionist Party, DUP, back Theresa May's minority government.
   The deal, which comes two weeks after the election resulted in a hung Parliament, will see the 10 DUP Members of Parliments back the Tories in key Commons votes.
According to reports, there will be £1billion pound extra for Northern Ireland over the next two years.

   The agreement has prompted calls for matching public investment in Wales and Scotland.
   Meanwhile, a three page document outlining the terms of the agreement has been published in full and the DUP said it would apply for the lifetime of the Parliament, scheduled to last five years, but would also be reviewed at the end of the current session in two years’ time.
