The Brexit Secretary has admitted that there has been little recent progress on the issue of the Irish border.
“I don’t have the solution to give you yet,” he told a House of Lords Committee.
Mr Raab added that “detailed” and “interesting” work on the border was continuing.
However, he said he is confident a general withdrawal deal with the EU is “well within our sights.”
He said he could not share any further details of that work to protect the integrity of the negotiations, which he said were about 80% complete.
The EU’s chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier also described the deal as 80% agreed – but that was at the beginning of July.
