Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of the Windsor Framework on (a) the availability of veterinary medicines and (b) the farming industry after 31 December 2024.
A grace period arrangement for veterinary medicines remains in place until the end of 2025 and provides for the continuity of supply to Northern Ireland.
Maintaining availability of veterinary medicines to Northern Ireland after the end of 2025 is a priority. This Government will progress work on this issue as quickly as possible and we will continue to engage with the agricultural and pharmaceutical industries to fully understand the potential impacts.
