The Government has made a “grave mistake” in refusing to activate the Stormont brake over updated EU laws on labelling of chemical products, Gavin Robinson has said.

The DUP leader said the amended regulations, which will apply in Northern Ireland, would result in increased costs for manufacturers in the region and new barriers to trade.
