Northern Ireland Protocol

The following is an extract from Treasury oral questions on 22 June 2021.

[Jesse Norman]

Let me remind him that, so far, the trader support service has processed something like, I think, 700,000 consignments, 59,000 traders have been registered, there is the Brexit support fund and there is the new movement assistance scheme, as he will know, for food and agriculture trade. We retain a focus on making those systems, rules and support work as effectively and as widely as possible.
