Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what assessment he has made with Cabinet colleagues of the potential impact of border control posts in Scotland on levels of trade between Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Answered by Kirsty McNeill - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Scotland Office)

I know the Honourable Member will share my firm desire not to see borders erected between the different nations of our United Kingdom.

We have been clear that there will be no border control posts at Cairnryan.

The UK Government is unequivocal in its commitment to ensuring unfettered access for Northern Ireland’s goods to the rest of the UK internal market and in coming weeks, as I advised the House at a previous Scottish oral questions, I will be meeting with NIO counterparts in coming weeks to discuss what more we can do to promote Scotland-NI trade.
