Northern Ireland Protocol

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

I am glad that the hon. Gentleman has recognised how powerful the Stormont brake is. It is absolutely right given the unique circumstances in Northern Ireland that it does have that sovereignty. It was missing. There was a democratic deficit, given the unique circumstances of Northern Ireland, and I am glad that the Windsor framework and the Stormont brake eliminate that democratic deficit and restore the appropriate and right sovereignty to the people of Northern Ireland.
