LONDON (Reuters) -Britain's Brexit minister David Frost will make a statement to parliament on the Northern Ireland Protocol on Wednesday, parliamentary authorities said on Tuesday.

The protocol was agreed by Britain and the European Union as part of a 2020 Brexit deal, but has not been fully implemented yet and Britain says changes need to be made to make it work properly.
