The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland is a long-standing eurosceptic and has declared is one of six cabinet ministers to have diverged from David Cameron on the key question of Britain splitting from Europe.

After she accompanied fellow Brexit supporter Boris Johnson on a visit to Boomer Industries in Lisburn, the News Letter asked her about the risks that the prime minister sees in inflamed nationalist feeling, particularly in Scotland, following a referendum decision to quit the EU.

Ms Villiers does not appear to believe that there is a danger to unionism in Northern Ireland but did not say so explicitly in this clip.
