About our Hilary Benn news

Latest news on Hilary Benn, UK Secretary of State for Northern Ireland in Keir Starmer's Labour government, covering his new role, political career, and views on key Northern Ireland issues.

Hilary Benn, born in 1953, has been appointed Secretary of State for Northern Ireland following Labour's victory in the 2024 general election. This marks a return to Cabinet for Benn, who previously served as International Development Secretary and Environment Secretary under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.

As Northern Ireland Secretary, Benn is responsible for overseeing Northern Ireland affairs and the ongoing peace process. His appointment comes at a critical time, with challenges related to post-Brexit arrangements and power-sharing at Stormont.

Benn brings extensive political experience to his new role, having served as an MP since 1999 and in various shadow cabinet positions. He has been a prominent voice on Brexit issues, chairing the Exiting the European Union Select Committee from 2016 to 2021.

In his new position, Benn faces several key challenges, including implementing and refining the Northern Ireland Protocol, restoring the devolved government, and promoting economic development in the region. His experience in international development and environmental issues may also influence his approach to Northern Ireland's unique challenges.
