New N. Ireland laws to be debated in parliament on Thursday - minister

Britain's House of Commons on Thursday will debate the legal instruments underpinning a proposed package of measures designed to ease concerns over Northern Ireland's post-Brexit status, minister Chris Heaton-Harris said on Wednesday.

"Today I am publishing the details of this deal but I'm also laying the Statutory Instruments that enshrine several of its commitments in law. Those instruments will be debated in this house tomorrow," Northern Ireland minister Chris Heaton-Harris told parliament.
