michael gove admitted that the northern ireland protocol isn't working at the moment. at stormont, the first minister said the protocol has caused "huge problems" that need to be addressed by the uk government. arlene foster from mlas. now that the cat is out of the bag and article 16 has been invoked by the european side, could i remind my right honourable friend of a comment made by the prime minister, who said, "we are a uk government. why would we put checks on goods going from northern ireland to gb or gb to northern ireland? it doesn't make sense." could i encourage the first minister to urge the prime minister to perhaps try putting the unionist back in conservative and unionist party? well, i say to the member, of course, it doesn't make sense, and the prime minister made a number of promises to the people of northern ireland, chief amongst them of course was that there would be unfettered access not just from northern ireland to great britain, but from great britain to northern ireland. and that's clearly not what is happening under the protocol, so therefore the prime minister needs to use all legal instruments at his disposal to deal with these issues. that's what we're calling upon him to do.
