🚨 BREAKING: The Stormont Brake wasn’t applied! Major win for public health in NI as the EU’s revised CLP regulation enforces stricter protections against harmful chemicals linked to cancer. Thanks to all who supported this cause! @columeastwood @moneillsf @CHEMTrust Thanks!
A very welcome decision by @hilarybennmp, rejecting the use of the Stormont Brake to stop an improved EU chemical safety law applying to Northern Ireland.
#EDCs can now be more easily identified and banned in NI 🙌
Now we need this to apply to the rest of the UK!
The government has rejected a request from Northern Ireland's unionist parties to use the post-Brexit mechanism known as the Stormont brake.
