Northern Ireland Dentists: Amalgam Fillings

Debate between Lord Foulkes of Cumnock and Baroness Merron

Monday 22nd July 2024 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Merron (Lab)]

Certainly, the Windsor Framework, under which some EU rules apply in Northern Ireland, is intended to help the EU and the UK work together constructively and to ensure the smooth flow of trade within the UK internal market. I am sure that my colleagues in the Northern Ireland Office will continue to keep that under review. I know that the Northern Ireland Secretary has been very involved in the amalgam issue.

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab Co-op)]

My Lords, will the Minister confirm that the noble Baroness, Lady Hoey, is one of the people who got us into this mess in the first place?

[Baroness Merron (Lab)]

I thank my noble friend for his opinion; that is noted. The Question from the noble Baroness, Lady Hoey, was extremely welcome.
