LONDON -- The leader of a Northern Ireland-based party is in London to finalise an agreement with Prime Minister Theresa May's Conservative-led government to support it in a crucial vote on the government's legislative package later this week.
Mrs May has been in talks with the Democratic Unionist Party to try to shore up her government after a disastrous election in which she lost her majority in the House of Commons. With the support of the 10 DUP lawmakers, Mrs May would have a majority.
DUP leader Arlene Foster said Monday that the terms of a deal will be "totally transparent".
Mrs Foster told Sky News that “we will be able to finalise the agreement between ourselves and the Conservative Party. As the prime minister herself has said, the deal will be public.''
