UK Trade with EU: Import Controls
Asked by: Jim Allister (Traditional Unionist Voice - North Antrim) Monday 21st July 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the potential combined impact of the (a) Windsor Framework (i) red and (ii) green lane border crossing requirements and (b) the implementation of the EU Import Control System 2 from 1 September 2025 on costs to businesses. Answered by James Murray - Chief Secretary to the Treasury The Import Control System 2 (ICS2) is the new safety and security system for certain goods moving by air, maritime, road or rail into Northern Ireland.

This means that businesses using the TSS to bring goods into Northern Ireland will not need to register for ICS2.

UK Trade with EU: Import Controls
Asked by: Jim Allister (Traditional Unionist Voice - North Antrim) Thursday 24th July 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the application of Import Control System 2 on goods movements from Great Britain to Northern Ireland on the UK single market for goods. Answered by James Murray - Chief Secretary to the Treasury The Import Control System 2 (ICS2) is the new safety and security IT system for certain goods moving by air, maritime, road or rail into Northern Ireland.

Buses: Carbon Emissions
Asked by: Jim Allister (Traditional Unionist Voice - North Antrim) Thursday 24th July 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to her Written Ministerial Statement of 15 July 2025 on Zero Emissions Vehicles, HCWS82, what support is being provided to public transport providers to purchase zero emission buses. Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport) The Government is reducing the number of different funding streams we pay to Local Transport Authorities. Major city regions will benefit from the recently announced £15.6bn Transport for Cities fund while our smaller cities, towns and rural areas will receive £2.3bn from the Local Transport Grant and over £800m bus capital funding. Local leaders can use this funding to invest in local prioritises, such as investment in new zero emission buses (ZEBs).
To support the domestic ZEB industry, the UK Bus Manufacturing Expert Panel was established in March 2025. A key objective of the Panel is to help create a steady pipeline of manufacturing orders. This pipeline involves gathering the necessary data on bus orders over the next ten years into one place so that it is accessible to all ZEB stakeholders. This will offer greater planning certainty to local transport authorities as they develop future decarbonisation strategies. Equally, UK-based manufacturers are well placed to benefit from this stability. |
