UK Prime Minister Theresa May is being urged by some of her own MPs to drop one of the options she's considering for customs arrangements with Brussels.
Mrs May is hosting a meeting of senior ministers on Wednesday to discuss customs arrangements with the EU as Britain leaves the bloc.
Downing Street is understood to favour a so-called 'customs partnership' which would see the UK mirroring EU customs rules at its borders and collecting tariffs on behalf of Brussels.

Theresa May says she hasn't settled on a solution yet.
IN: "We will…
OUT: …delivered."
