Hilary Benn

Labour — Leeds South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 24 July 2024

Debate

First Minister and Deputy First Minister

Contribution

As the hon. Gentleman knows, when we were in opposition, we supported the two statutory instruments and the Humble Address. We will set up the independent monitoring panel, and we have recently had a success in developing our relationship with the European Union over dental amalgam: the new Government have secured a 10-year derogation, which has been widely welcomed by the parties in Northern Ireland.
