Northern Ireland unionists sought to use the post-Brexit emergency mechanism to stop the application of a piece of EU law in the British -run region.

All unionist lawmakers in the Belfast regional assembly asked to trigger the mechanism for the first time last month for EU rules on the packaging and labelling of chemicals.

Britain 's minister for the region Hilary Benn said unionist arguments that the changes amounted to a "significant divergence" with the rest of the United Kingdom did not meet the threshold.
