N. Ireland's DUP, May are still in talks over deal: Spokesperson

A deal in which Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party props up British Prime Minister Theresa May's government is still in place, a spokesman for May said on Wednesday.

The DUP has abstained on several votes on the government's finance bill this week, prompting questions over whether the so-called confidence and supply arrangement had been abandoned.

"It is our position that the confidence and supply are still in place," May's spokesman said.
