but the dup were still unhappy. what did we do? what did we do to members on those benches over there to be screwed over by this protocol? ask your hearts, every single one, what did we do? because what has happened with this protocol, it has ruined trade in northern ireland and it is an insult to our intelligence to say thatitis a teething problem. michael gove, accepted more needed to be done and reassured mps the government would look at specific cases as they were brought to its attention. proposals for new mental health legislation have been unveiled in the commons. the consultation paper sets out plans to give people with mental health issues a greater say in their treatment and to stop the practice of sectioning people with learning disabilities and autism. and there'll be a drive to reduce the disproportionate number of black people being detained in mental health units. the mental health act was created so that those with severe mental illness and present a risk to themselves or others can be detained and treated for their

the dup�*s westminster leader said he should consider scrapping them. the prime minister promised us that northern ireland would continue to have unfettered access to the uk internal market and yet in my constituency, consumers are facing empty supermarket shelves. they cannot get parcels delivered from great britain. small businesses cannot bring spare parts and raw materials into northern ireland from great britain, steel importers are facing tariffs, and we have many other problems, all caused by the northern ireland protocol. so what i and the people of northern ireland need to know from the prime minister, as leader of the united kingdom, is what his government is going to do to address this, and if he will consider invoking article 16 of the northern ireland protocol to resolve these issues, because the trade and support service is welcome but it's not the solution alone. we need direct government intervention to deal with this now. well, i thank the right honourable gentleman and i can tell him that at the moment, goods are flowing effectively an

ourfriends in dublin and they united parties in northern ireland from sinn fein on one side to the dup on the other in condemnation. people in northern ireland were bewildered by this step. in the republic of ireland, too, there was surprise, that its leaders were not involved in the initial decision. it clearly was a mistake in that regard but what is important is that the channel of communications are open and they are constructive ones, they have taken on board what we said, and relatively quickly they pulled back. at westminster there was rare unity across the brexit divide, as politicians condemned brussels, but some are now arguing the government here should use its emergency powers to protect trade between northern ireland and the rest of the uk. we were told that under no circumstances could the european commission countenance a border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, yet 29 days into the protocol they are quite happy to evoke it when it is in their interests. i fear it has caused some political damage and given the brexiteers an opportunity to use it to th

northern ireland has its own special post—brexit arrangements, a protocol the dup already wants to see set aside under what's known in the jargon as article 16. this protocol, mr chancellor, is an unmitigated disaster. ppe equipment can no longer get into northern ireland. foodstuffs can't get into northern ireland, m&s have produced a list of 400 goods that they won't bring into northern ireland. we now must invoke article 16, and i would encourage the chancellor do that, and i'm sure the scot nats are delighted they don't have a protocol now. rishi sunak said ministers were ready to talk through any problems for northern ireland. he was told there are also brexit issues for scottish seafood. one at local fish trader told me this morning that a single consignment now has to go with no fewer than 17 different attachments and another told me on friday that he had lost £50,000 on a single consignment that he had been unable to export. what is the chancellor going to do to offer help to fish exporters to get them through this very difficult time, difficult because of defra's own rules an
