Proceeding contribution from Lady Hermon (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Saturday, 19 October 2019. It occurred during Debate on European Union (Withdrawal) Acts.
European Union (Withdrawal) Acts
The Secretary of State has followed the example of the Prime Minister in quoting David Trimble. I pay tribute to David Trimble as a great leader of the Ulster Unionist party; he now sits as a Tory Member of the other place. I asked the Prime Minister and am now asking the Secretary of State for a clear guarantee that there is nothing in this new Brexit deal that undermines or weakens the constitutional status of Northern Ireland, as guaranteed in the Belfast/Good Friday agreement and the consent principle. Do not quote Lord Trimble to me. Give me a clear commitment.
