Northern Ireland: Restoring Devolution

Debate between Eddie Hughes and Julian Smith

Monday 21st October 2019 Commons Chamber

[Julian Smith]

As the hon. Lady knows, the Joint Committee in the new protocol will look at all those matters. I expect them to be looked at over the coming months as we go through the implementation period.

[Eddie Hughes (Walsall North) (Con)]

Does my right hon. Friend share my view that if the Act is extended by statutory instrument, that will not be a good outcome for the people of Northern Ireland?

[Julian Smith]

I agree with my hon. Friend.
