Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether there have been changes to the Government's legal position on the Northern Ireland Protocol Bill, published on the 13 June 2022.

It is a longstanding convention for governments of all parties not to comment on the facts or contents of government legal advice. Proceeding with this Bill is consistent with our obligations in international law - and in support of our prior obligations to the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement. This legislation is lawful under international law. Our position is set out in the statement of the Government's legal position we have published.
