Sir Jeffrey Donaldson, the DUP leader, says replacing the Northern Ireland protocol will take some time. In the meantime, can the PM assure him that any measures to help people will apply in Northern Ireland too?
Johnson says the government has measures that will help people across the UK.
And it would help in Northern Ireland if Stormont were restored, he says.

‘Drinking and debauchery’
The leader if the SNP at Westminster speaks on the Sue Gray report. He says the report into lawbreaking at No 10 have been daming and the PM was at the centre of it.
Now we’ve seen the damaging photo evidence, will he resign?
PM says Blackford will have the chance to address this in the statement after PMQs.
Blackford says PM has lost the trust of the public and has apologised because he got caught not because he actually feels sorry. Blackford says Tory MPs must act.
Prime minister, time is up. Resign before this house is forced to remove him.
Johnson says Blackford should read the report.
