LONDON (Reuters) – British finance minister Rishi Sunak said there was genuine progress taking place in the Brexit talks and he was hopeful the two sides would agree a deal, he told the Sunday Times newspaper.
Sunak also said he hoped that by the spring next year he would be able to start thinking beyond the current needs to support the economy and jobs, and on to how he could return the public finances to a sustainable level.
