6. Whether he plans to review the Windsor framework agreement.
The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland (Hilary Benn)Labour
No. We are committed to implementing the Windsor framework in good faith in partnership with the EU, and to taking all steps necessary to protect the UK internal market. We are also looking to negotiate a sanitary and phytosanitary veterinary agreement with the EU, which could help.

Will the Secretary of State commit to all the provisions of the “Safeguarding the Union” agreement?
Hilary BennLabour
I already set out my answer to that in response to the hon. Member for Brentwood and Ongar (Alex Burghart). We are taking forward those commitments, but we can make progress by working in partnership with the European Union. What was achieved recently on dental amalgam is a good example of precisely that.
