Northern Ireland Protocol

Proceeding contribution from George Howarth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 February 2023. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Ireland Protocol.

I welcome the fact that the document contains a number of references to the need for “cross-community support”, and the Prime Minister has repeated that phrase a number of times in his statement and in responses. He will be aware that over the past 25 years one significant development has been the number of people who identify themselves as Northern Irish, as distinct from either British or Irish. Will he give the House some indication of how he is going to gauge the opinion of that 20% of the population who identify themselves in that way but might not necessarily be represented by a political party?
