The Ulster Unionist Party has agreed to form an electoral pact with the British Conservative Party.

Senior members of the UUP approved the alliance during a meeting of the party's executive in Belfast last night.

The deal will see the two parties run on a joint ticket in the next Westminster and European elections in the North.

They have yet to decide if the partnership will be extended to include Assembly and local council elections.
